Pre cigar or post cigar?
As for smoking in the white house or airforce one, it probably happens in the crisis room depending on what’s got their panties in a knot.
Its not like obama is gonna have a bunch of kids trying to emulate him in every thing.

I would think he’d avoid smoking inside the White House because its rather filled with historic antiques - smoke isn’t going to be the best thing for that - he strikes me as someone who would be aware and respectful of that.
Sittin’ in the summit, thinkin’ it’s a drag
Listening to that U.N. rap - just ain’t my bag
When Iran sends a nuke, you know it’s my cue
Gonna meet the boys in the War Room too
Smokin’ in the White House
Smokin’ in the White House
Congress don’t you fill me up with your fear
Everybody knows that smokin’ ain’t allowed in here
OBAMA AS NEW YORK IS VAPORIZED: Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines.
I think some year soon someone will spot an empty coffee can stashed behind a planter on some West Wing balcony. Everyone working there will be careful to never see it. 
There would actually be something kind of humanizing and relatable about the thought of the guy sneaking out to the balcony every so often to hot box a cigarette and trying to keep it a secret from his wife. I’ve been there, done that.
And let’s not forget all those presidential couples having SEX on the BEDS there-THAT’S ANTIQUE FURNITURE!!!
As a reformed smoker (2 packs a day for 20 years and often into the 3rd pack) who lives with a man trying to quit (and driving us all to drink) I can’t bear the stink of cigarette smoke in my house and my husband only smokes in his workshop - which is his domain. Not that I’m tempted to smoke,** luckily** for me when I quit I never wanted to smoke again.
I hope Mr. Obama succeeds in quitting, for his sake and his family’s. But I bet he wouldn’t smoke in the White House, anyway. Somehow, it doesn’t seem likely. Not sure why. Maybe because he seems like a decent sort.
Seriously? You thought your wife wouldn’t notice that you reeked of tobacco?
I thought if I went outside and blew the smoke away from me…
Aw, I was an idiot. She knew. In retrospect, I was obvious. I was “taking out the garbage” like 6 times a day.
Related anecdote: when I did a rotation in the state Public Health office in med school I got to have lunch with my Congressman, Hal Rogers. We were in a hotel conference room with “No Smoking” signs everywhere you looked; in particular, there was one right over Rep. Rogers’ head from my vantage point.
That’s why it surprised me when, right after he sat down, he pulled out a cigar and lit it. Nobody even batted an eyelash. I thought it was disrespectful to not even ask, Congressman or not. I also thought that if I were an old, overweight, balding, bejowled Republican member of Congress in an unfashionable suit, I sure as hell wouldn’t be seen chomping on a stogie, for the same reason I’d give up donuts if I were a cop. (And I gave up golf when I finished med school.)
Hey, sometimes the garbage really stinks. 
As for the piggies, those stoner bastards wouldn’t lay off them even if they gave up the donuts.
Which I know because I saw a cop getting a burrito at my local taco shop and I muttered to the next person in line, “I didn’t know they sold donuts here.”
Mary-Kate Olsen has no power over anything in the White House and after her odd role in the Heath Ledger death it would be somewhere between hypocritical and inadvisable for her to make Obama’s smoking an issue.
I think Obama should just issue an Executive Order saying “I can smoke wherever the hell I want to.”
I can’t remember where I read this, but I swear it wasn’t a tabloid but something at least slightly more reliable: Laura Bush is an on-again/off-again cigarette smoker and keeps her jacket wrapped in plastic when traveling [putting it on before getting out of the vehicle] to avoid it getting smoke odor. Bush isn’t a smoker but admitted in one interview to taking an occasional drag off other people’s, which would imply that somebody at the place smokes.
Sorry for the tangent, but in the interest of accuracy, send some apologies to Brownsville Station first.
I thought Clinton was doing something else with that cigar. If he’d only been smoking it, I doubt he would have been impeached.
But as for Obama, I think he should smoke like a chimney in the White House and bill the tax payers for his cigarettes. It’d be a maverick move.
I am sure he could if he wanted to i mean who cares. I dont think he cares about the fine or w/e it is. Its not like he will be arrested. Most people will just be asked to stop
LOL, more like RJ Reynolds would pull up to the white house in a semi trailer and start lobbing free cartons.
What was his slogan , change is in the air

This reminded me of something I read the other day, that has nothing to do with this stirring debate but I thought I’d share. From The Mirror.
Maybe the Obamas should think about giving up wild sex. For security reasons.
Three-inch-high models of the Washington Monument? And they were “knocked over”?
Do you see where I’m going with this?
