First lady: President Obama has quit smoking
WASHINGTON (By DARLENE SUPERVILLE, The Associated Press) - President Barack Obama finally has kicked the habit, Michelle Obama said Tuesday.
"Yes, he has," the first lady told reporters at the White House when asked whether her husband had finally done what millions of Americans can't seem to do and quit smoking. "It's been almost a year."
She said she didn't know exactly when he quit "because he never smoked a lot" and she never saw him light up.
The issue of Obama's smoking last surfaced in December, when press secretary Robert Gibbs was asked about it and said he hadn't seen Obama smoke in nine months. That would have put Obama's final puffs somewhere in March.
