Quotes from this article:

I don't know what to tell you, other than the fact that, like folks who go to AA, once you've gone down this path, then it's something you continually struggle with, which is precisely why the legislation we signed was so important, because what we don't want is kids going down that path in the first place. Okay?
President Barack Obama, on his smoking.

I would say that I am 95 percent cured.
President Barack Obama, measuring with a cessation yardstick no one's ever heard of.

Obama and The Burning Question  

Tobacco Habit a Hazy Rumor Behind Official Smoke Screen
Jump to full article: The Washington Post, 2009-06-23
Author: Paul Farhi

Quotes from this article:

It's hard to know for sure, because everyone at the White House acts like a kid caught smoking when the subject comes up, but it appears that Obama is the first president in decades to smoke cigarettes while in office.
A risible sense of irony suffuses this WP item on Obama's smoking.
