The question is, does Obama still smoke? When considering how tough our president and his admin have made life on approximately 1/4 of the US population, one would hope so. I’m not aware of a straight answer to this potentially hypocritical situation but am keeping my eyes and ears open.

Considering how poorly tobacco users are treated in this day and age, it was only prudent to take such a draconian stance on tobacco during the election to avoid an unpopular association with the reviled smoker.   Much better to play the victim and abuse a hated minority rather than be identified as one of them.

Hindsight’s 20/20 and the unfair abuse of a large minority could backfire, but I doubt it will.  It appears the majority of nicotine users are so brainwashed by MSM’s lie’s and junk science that they’re actually ashamed of their habits, and like good sheep, of themselves too.  Accepting this abuse with a turned cheek while thanking Big Brother for real time punishment of their weak indulgences.   Fortunately for the majority, the rest of our hypocritical, pill popping, alcoholic and obscenely bloated citezens aren’t held to the same expensive standards.
