Obama Can't Kick the Habit

Waaait a minute. Didn't the president say he was going to kick? Obama is in excellent shape, according to his annual physical. But despite his healthy diet and regular workouts, he can't seem to ditch the occasional coffin nail. The First Doctor's report says that he's using "nicotine replacement therapy" in a bid to quit smoking but doesn't go into specifics, the Christian Science Monitor reports.

Obama has been candid about his difficulties with tobacco in the past: "Have I fallen off the wagon sometimes?" he said last year. "Yes. Am I a daily smoker? No. Am I a constant smoker? No." What are the chances he'll ever completely quit? Pretty dismal, notes Gawker. "How many smokers do you know who are "quitting" (all of them) and who have actually quit?" asks the snarky web site. "None." (More Barack Obama stories.)
