The New York Times, (and subsequently, I assume, countless other print, broadcast and internet news outlets), ran an article last week questioning whether Obama continues to smoke, and whether he would successfully kick the habit while charged with the Presidential post. My first thought was, "oh, that's right, he's a smoker."
Followed by, "who cares?"
Trust me, I am well aware of the dangers of tobacco - it's a killer, no doubt about it...
