7. wow. the rest of the pix make it plain, but wow. i'm shocked as hell

that these pix didn't explode during the campaign. innocent kid stuff, but wow. where's the zuit suit?

5. That picture of Obama is disturbing

It was taken in 1980, when the dangers of smoking were well known...yet in the photo he acts like puffing away is something to be proud of. I wouldn't even mention it except the nicotine habit that he cultivated as a youth is still with him today. Lets hope in the future he demonstrates the character and will enabling him to put the addiction behind him permanently.

6. Don't be a prig.

He looks like he was having fun - and I'm sure he wasn't promoting smoking cigarettes!

15. I'm well past 50 and still smoke and don't give a shit

I don't plan on living forever and don't have a need to. My only responsibility in this world are my 80+ y/o parents and I'm pretty sure I can cover their needs until they move on. Smoking may not be healthy or smart, but it's not as deadly as some make it to be. If I were in Obama's shoes, I'd try to make sure I could be around long enough to see my grandchildren. If quitting tobacco helped get me there, I'd do it in a minute.

10. Meanwhile, I hope he takes to smoking in the Oval Office during addresses

at least in his 2nd term.

How I hate the pontificating of smokenazi, nanny staters.

11. Hey now, that would be leading by example

and a wonderful thing...especially for the youth of America. Hell, maybe if we're lucky cancer deaths will skyrocket.:sarcasm:

12. I hate oral cancers too.

I've seen way too many.
