Obama to Cigs: I Wish I Knew How to Quit You

Posted Apr 3rd 2008 4:25PM by TMZ Staff

There may be something more dangerous to Barack Obama than pastor Rev. Wright -- his nasty smoking habit!

While Barack allegedly quit smoking back in February 2007, ABC News Correspondent Jake Tapper says he ran into the Illinois senator in August when he "reeked of cigarettes." Obama did inhale! Obama even admitted he "fell off the wagon" on last night's "Hardball." Maybe LiLo can lend Barack some of her Ariva.

If BO wants to stay off the cancer sticks, he should just take his own advice and say: Yes We Can!

A rep for Obama would not comment.

227. i dont like obama and i am an exsmoker but you cannot tell someone to quit smoking they have to be ready for it there is alot of stress in this world and some people find it easier to deal with when they smoke it is certainly better than drugs and alcohol that is severely abused in this country think about that

231. Ya know?? I "AM" also a smoker, (I literally hate it though!! But I';m not stepping up to lead a country either...), In any case, I really am "concerned" on the fact that someone have the will to step up to the plate and "LEAD" AMERICA, think of the health problems smoking causes, it is fenominal!! Is he going to smoke in the Oval Office??? Who's going to pay for "HIS" smoking diseases "WHEN" he gets COPD; LUNG CANCER, etc... "WE THE PEOPLE!!!" Mr. Barrak? You're a "TERRIFIC" human being, BUT... the smoking should in fact "GO!" That is "IF" you are going to stay well enough to: #1). Take care of, and be there for your family, and #2). Be around for 8 years "HEALTHY" (if elected both times as President) to be the "LEADER" of These United States of America... "DON'T QUIT QUITTING!!! It "IS" the "MOST DIFFICULT" of "ALL" drugs to quit, but to lead this country sir? LEAD BY EXAMPLE!!! Good Day!!

232. All US presidents have been smokers, except Bush and Reagan. Who cares? This is the home of the free...at least he is not an alcoholic like SOME presidents we know.

233. IF YOU CAN'T QUIT SMOKING....HOW CAN YOU HAVE THE STRENGTH AND FORTITUDE TO LEAD THE THE PREMIER SUPERPOWER THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN.
Maybe he could lead Canada, but not the USA...no WAY!!!

234. Well... we all know McCain is a smoker too.
VOTE FOR HILLARY!!!!! She has bigger balls than either of them- AND she doesn't smoke!

235. So Hillary lied about being under sniper fire in Bosnia and video proved that wasn't the case at all...she was welcomed and a child presented her with a flower...Obama smokes and you people want to not vote for him because of it? Did we forget that Bush has done drugs as well? Did we forget that running for presidency can be kind of stressful? Most importantly did we forget that this is TMZ reporting this? It is time for a change and Obama is that change. All the people that are coming up with reasons to put him down and make him seem incapable of doing the job are simply those who weren't going to vote for him to begin with. If you want to vote for someone who was on the board of Walmart and was anti-union promoting sweatshop usage and forcing labor off the clock with no pay then go ahead...but please don't complain when we get another 4 years of misery.

236. Golly, I feel secure knowing it's possible that some of you might actually vote. Sounds like you plan on making an educated decision and are really focusing on the important issues surrounding our Presidential election.
