Is it right to now have the President quit smoking ...

Any time is the right time for the president or anyone else to stop smoking.  The sooner the better.  It can be done without drugs or other aids.  (I did it cold turkey after smoking for 32 years and 2 packs a day.  Have never had a smoke since and it's been over 14 years.)  To quit you must want it more than you have ever wanted anything else to be successful.  You cannot be successful if you are trying to do it for someone else because you really didn't want to quit in the first place.  You can and do focus even more on things around you because your not always looking for that next cigarette.  Keeping busy there is no time to be depressed.  (The only suffering I did was when I had lung cancer which I got 7 months after quitting.)  The President should quit smoking only if he feels this is for him and not for the country.  What a public figure does on his own time is his own business and not that of the world unless it has a direct bearing on how he governs.   The public needs to butt out.

I think he should smoke more!

Barrack Obama has not set the best example before our youth.  He should have to quit smoking on discipline alone.  If he does not have sufficient discipline, he has no business as President.

If I could stop smoking anyone can stop smoking. I started when I was sixteen years old. Presently, I am sixty-nine years old. I stopped cold turkey on my sixty second year after my forth heart attack and needing the second heart bypass surgery. Yes, I did stop and cannot stand to be around anyone who smokes. If Obama cheats every once in awhile, he is under great pressure to run this Nation. I cannot blame him because I don't want his job. Michael Joel Held

Held, I don't smoke.  I don't drink coffee or alcohol, either.  These things are just not healthy.  Nicotine, caffeine, and alcohol, are not part of a healthy lifestyle.

The sooner you quit these vices, the longer and better you'll live, I assure you. 

We need the best disciplined people in America in key positions of trust, not those least to be trusted. 

So far, Obama and his bunch of liars, cheats, frauds, deadbeats, voter-registration forgers, and loan sharks, are the least trustworthy mob of deadbeats America has ever suffered.  Until we impeach and remove that bunch of racist deadbeats, we're all in clear and present danger.  I therefore have a message for Obama bin Laden:

Put that in your bahng and smoke it.

I have a way to help Obama bin Laden quit smoking.  He and the Attorney Colonel (demoted from General) must sign a waiver before I help Obama quit smoking.  I will admit that my method does not comply with the Geneva Convention.

Of course, I never signed the Geneva Convention.

We need not go through all twelve steps that AA uses to sober up alcoholics.  My program is much simpler, more direct, and dear God much more personally gratifying! 

1.  Set up a safe place for the quitting smoker to smoke until we achieve complete cessation.  That area requires the victim (I mean smoking cessation patient -- no, I was right the first time!) to run the MCRD San Diego Drill Instructor Obstacle Course for each and every cigarette.  After three cigarettes/day, the Obstacle Course is replaced with the Infiltration Course at nearby Marine OCS, Quantico. 

2.  If that fails, we then give him a pack of his favorite brand, very minimally slightly altered just a teeny-weensy-microscopic little bit: the cigarettes have a red ink mark an inch from the tip, which grants Obama three safe puffs, then anything can happen.  First, just a prankster's cigarette load.  Plip!  Nothing to it.

Then lady-finger firecrackers.  "Pop."  Then full size firecrackers.  "Bang."  Then blasting caps.  "Ker-Pow!"  Then a dubious faint outline of the "DuPont" logo, marked with "RDX."  "Ker-whomp!"  Then something I did to my High School Physics teacher who then put in for an anual nervous breakdown when I threatened to help him quit smoking.  "Mushroom cloud."

That usually gets quitting smokers to stop smoking, or take out life insurance.  No Insurance Agent will write it when they find out about the next tactical escalation: horse hair.  Then if Obama is particularly stubborn, things that smell as bad as newlyweds' cooking.

It is rare that such abuse fails to get the resultswe desire.  But if so, we can escalate to the unthinkable: during smoke breaks, he gets to listen to accordion recitals of, "Yoda," by Weird Al Yankovic, and the Spencer Davis group's only major gold record, "I'm a Man," artfully done by Pee Wee Herman.

If that fails (not likely) then I will think of something disgusting.

What do you think?
