No Smoking in the White House



Obama will be challenged to live up to the no-smoking clause ban in el casa blanco, starting January 20th. His doctor stated that he has been on the nicotine gum for quite some time, and has tried to quite a few times, but Obama has admitted to sneakin a few within the past year. Overall, 21% of Americans smoke, down from 28% in the 1980's. Also, it takes the average smoker 7-10 times before they actually quit. I just noticed that my Pops' new Toyota, doesn't have a cigarette lighter, nor is it equipped with an ashtray. Much different story with our 1989 Volvo, which was equipped with both. Dear I say we're moving past a time to light up?
Suerte Obama!
