Obama said not a heavy smoker who had smoked every day. Yet U.S. President was aware of his bad habits must be stopped. Through determination and family support, the president is already 9 months to quit smoking.
“I have not seen and witnessed no evidence of smoking within nine months,” said White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said when asked by reporters about how Obama has bid to quit smoking as reported by politicsdaily.com.
Heavy smokers or who only occasionally smokes are equally in danger. Research shows negative effects of smoking can occur more quickly than expected, so that a cigarette is enough to trigger heart attacks.

Gibbs said Obama had struggled to quit smoking. “It (smoking) was not something he’s proud of. He knows it is not good for him. He knew he did not like about it,” Gibbs said.

“I think he has been working (trying to quit smoking) with a bang. He has struggled against that habit,” said Gibbs.

The media called Obama’s campaign slogan “Yes We Can ‘suitable enough for his determination to quit smoking. Obama’s smoking habit was under the spotlight when he advanced in the U.S. presidential election 2009. Before elected U.S. President, Obama has been determined to quit smoking.
