Obama has come under fire because he still has a few cigs a day. He isnt a boozer, a womaniser or a reformed cokehead. He is a smoker, and a minor one at that.

He is about to take one of the most stressfull jobs and arguably the most important office in the world, there is no reason to sweat him if he has a smoke during the day.

As a smoker Ild have a different take if he was choking down a pack or 2 a day, but he isnt. He may be having 4 or 5 cigs a day.

Many famous world leaders, and authors where smokers, do we detract from them for it? I dont, but then again Im a smoker.

I may not agree with Obama's voting record or his political stance and policy, but if he needs a cig after a stressful meeting or before making a major decission, let him!

There are so many other reasons to go after Obama, let him smoke.
