Fresh Focus On Barack Obama's On-And-Off Smoking Habit

So what if Obama choses to smoke

I agree totally, at our plant smoking is not permitted inside, so the smokers would go outside on their breaks and lunch to smoke. Then the rule was changed to no smoking within 25 ft of the building. Now a lot of the smokers have taken up dipping snuff and chewing tabacco. So instead of the smoke now they are spitting all the time, in a cup or on the floor. Some times I think the smoke would be better.

endurorob....

It appears that you are a smoker, inferior, self-righteous and indignant to boot.

If smoking is so great, why would those who find it disgusting and say so, be deemed having superior attitudes? Are you supporting the obvious fact that non-smokers are superior to smokers?

Those who can''t stand smoking are far less offensive than smokers whose stench infects the very air we breathe. I feel so sorry for the children of smokers, but alas, they have the same genes and are destined to be smokers anyway.

I get tired of people saying they can''''t stop smoking the first thing you have to do is want to stop. I smoked from my early teens until I was 46, one day I decided that I would not smoke anymore and I have not smoked in 32 years, you just have to want to and you can.

Smoking is an indication of one''''s inability to control impulsive behavior, one''''s lack of concern for others and susceptibility to addiction. In other words, completely selfish. It is generally a habit of people with little education and lower IQ''''s, though surprisingly not always.

The habit is offensive to those who don''''t smoke. A smoker wreaks, wastes valuable time, and is prone to illnesses. It is a terrible example for the younger generation to know the President smokes.

I had a very successful business for over twenty five years. I refused to hire smokers and I didn''''t do business with smokers. My family has eliminated all smoking friends. Only one relative who smokes, is not included in any family events without his promise to forgo the smoking around the rest of the family. No one wants to be around the smoker and they certainly don''''t want their kids around it.

While it isn''''t illegal, it is thoroughly disgusting and creates a rift in relations with other people.

The fact that Obama is a smoker lessens his worth in my mind and many others.

And your self rightous, superior attitude is offensive.

correction

So what if Obama chooses to smoke as long as he doesn''''t smoke around people who are bothered by smoke. Have you ever sat next to a 250 pound person on an airplane who needs a shower, a coworker who sits next to you with a cold or flu, or purchased food from a cashier who handles money and then prepares your food without washing his or her hands? Then there are the crotch scratchers. There are far worse things in life than smoking.

Clinton was a woman-izer and Obama is a smoker. These two are terrible. We should only elect presidents who amuse themselves by lying to us, committing mass murder and looting the treasury. You go Dubya. -------

Get over it, get a life, and grow-up. Some people will always be idiots.

I can just see the chaos when they try to take chocolate away from us during pms. They are really going to have a problem.

If California has their way, food will be next, they are already pushing a "fat tax" just like they did the "tobacco tax" once they have that watch out, you wont be able to order anything unhealthy at a restaurant again, only tofu and sprouts. We dont need big brother and sister (government) looking over our shoulders at everything we do.
