Michelle Obama: President Has Quit Smoking

Comments (10)


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.
