Barack Obama has not smoked a cigarette for one year - Polidicks

[url]http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/02/08/us-obama-smoking-idUSTRE7176EL20110208[/url] [release]It has been "almost a year" since the president had a cigarette, his wife told reporters at a White House luncheon to mark the first anniversary of her "Let's Move" childhood health initiative. "It's been a while and I'm very proud of him," she was quoted as saying by The Washington Post. "I haven't poked and prodded. When somebody is doing the right thing, you don't mess with them." White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said in December that Obama appeared to be making progress in his struggle to give up cigarettes and was chewing nicotine gum as a replacement. He said then he had not seen or witnessed any evidence of Obama smoking in probably nine months[/release] :foxnews: [b]Obama quits America's greatest past-time.

[QUOTE=Badal;27941669]God forbid he smoke a cigarette :rolleye:[/QUOTE] Well you don't want the dude to die all of a sudden cause of his smoking habits do you?

I don't understand why we need to know this.

How is this shit news worthy? Something like Obama hasn't had an erection in one year would have been new worthy..but not this

I haven't smoked for 16 years, where is my news article?

[QUOTE=XIII_GT;27941870]How is this shit news worthy? Something like Obama hasn't had an erection in one year would have been new worthy..but not this[/QUOTE] I see articles from Fox. I can't post this?

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;27941889]I haven't smoked for 16 years, where is my news article?[/QUOTE] Run for president and then you get a news article

[QUOTE=CabooseRvB;27941901]I see articles from Fox. I can't post this?[/QUOTE] Fox is dumb is all I'm saying

[QUOTE=SkinkYEA;27941917]Run for president and then you get a news article[/QUOTE] yeah, people complaining about this must have never been to any news website or ever watched tv. This is more or less just harmless slow-news-day stuff; it's not like it's about charlie sheen or the kardashians or one of the millions of threads you people post about whatever popstar/movie/song it's popular to hate. I mean someone posts a thread about the president quitting smoking and it gets filled with "this is news?" type replies, but the moment a thread is posted about justin bieber or twilight that thing gets to 8 pages

so, why is this on facepunch.

[QUOTE=Mattk50;27942137]so, why is this on facepunch.[/QUOTE] Because this is the 'in the news' section, and it was in the news.

Good for him, I guess.

I haven't smoked a cigarette for 25 years, that obviously means I'm better suited to run your nation.

If milk on amazon.com is news worthy than this must be too

Good for him. But really, who cares?

I'd rather he did smoke tbh. I don't want to find out the president shot a cruise missile at Cuba just because he was in nicotine withdrawal

Eurgh, I wanted to find that scene from Father Ted where Ted envisions Dougal as a giant cigarette due to withdrawal.

[QUOTE=TH89;27942702]I'd rather he did smoke tbh. I don't want to find out the president shot a cruise missile at Cuba just because he was in nicotine withdrawal[/QUOTE] ya id rather the president smoke meth too because it would be better if he didnt have meth withdrawals

[QUOTE=yawmwen;27942745]ya id rather the president smoke meth too because it would be better if he didnt have meth withdrawals[/QUOTE] That's right folks, cigarettes are the same as methamphetamines.

[QUOTE=TH89;27942835]That's right folks, cigarettes are the same as methamphetamines.[/QUOTE] are you saying that meth withdrawals are trivial

I am saying the short-term effects of smoking a cigarette are incomparable to the short-term effects of being on meth and I think you know that

[QUOTE=TH89;27942991]I am saying the short-term effects of smoking a cigarette are incomparable to the short-term effects of being on meth and I think you know that[/QUOTE] well duh but my point is still relevant because it had nothing to do with the effects of the two drugs it is making a point that what you said was silly and i think you know that

Stay clear of smoking anything, and not only will you be much much healthier if you ever get into power you too can have news articles about you not smoking.

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;27943272]Stay clear of smoking anything, and not only will you be much much healthier if you ever get into power you too can have news articles about you not smoking.[/QUOTE] fuck that imma be the first crack smokin president
