Obama has quit smoking, wife confirms

Obama quit smoking cigarettesPresident Barack Obama has officially quit smoking, after his wife confirmed today that he had been smoke free for a year.
“He’s always wanted to stop,” the first lady told reporters at the Whitehouse, as she revealed that she didn’t know exactly when his last cigarette was “because he never smoked a lot” and she didn’t ever see him light up.

His press secretary Robert Gibbs suggested that the president had quit when he was asked about Obama’s smoking and said he hadn’t seen him have a cigarette for nine months.
Mrs Obama said she was incredibly proud of her husband, but hadn’t probed him for details on how he accomplished the challenge. “I haven’t really poked and prodded him on this,” she said. “When somebody’s doing the right thing you don’t mess with them.”
It’s thought that he quit so that if his daughters were ever to ask him if he smokes, he could look them in the eye and deny it, reports The Telegraph.
Back in 2009 Mr Obama said: “I constantly struggle with it. Have I fallen off the wagon sometimes? Yes. Am I a daily smoker, a constant smoker? No.”
That’s something any smoker will identify with, and it’s also why so many people struggle to kick the habit. If people find it hard to go smoke free through will power alone, they would experience a stronger rate of success if they receive support through methods such as stop smoking hypnosis.
