Today as I walked through the store and looked at the magazine rack I found the most interesting thing on the front of one of my favorite magazines. I love "health" magazines simply because I am a runner and workout queen and when I saw the cover of October's issue all I could wonder is, can I smoke and still be a healthy person? I wonder??? I loved smoking but quit and now run marathons, I love running. I wonder if the pres would like to take whirl around DC with me in October when I come up to run the Marine Corp Marathon? I mean he must be in shape? He has graced the cover of Men's Health TWICE! Shouldn't we as health fanatics look up to the commander in chief, even if he smokes?
Yes, still smokes!!
This is what he stated to Men's Health: Quit smoking (as often as you need to)"There wasn't some dramatic moment [when I quit]," he says. "Michelle had been putting pressure on me for a while. I was never really a heavy smoker. Probably at my peak I was smoking seven or eight a day. More typical was three. So it wasn't a huge challenge with huge withdrawal symptoms. There have been a couple of times during the campaign when I fell off the wagon and bummed one, and I had to kick it again. But I figure, seeing as I'm running for president, I need to cut myself a little slack."
However this is what he stated to ABC/CBS: At his press conference this afternoon, President Obama, who calls himself a "former smoker," acknowledged that he still occasionally falls "off the wagon."
If you have been a smoker, you don't fall off a wagon.....you can't just smoke one! It's like a Lay's potato chip, you can't just eat one! By the way Lay's aren't healthy but damn they are good!!
