Doctors tell Barack Obama to quit smoking
The American president has been trying to kick the habit for sometime, apart from the smoking he is in excellent health

Barack Obama is still struggling to kick smoking, according to his first medical examination since becoming president.

Obama is sensitive about his cigarette habit and tetchy with reporters who raise it. But after his 90-minute medical at the Navy hospital outside Washington yesterday morning, his doctors confirmed he had not yet managed to conquer the habit and suggested he "continue smoking cessation efforts".

The doctors said the president used medication to try to ease the pangs, they described it as "nicotine replacement therapy, self-use".

Obama promised Michelle when he embarked on his campaign to become president he would quit, at the time he said he was smoking about eight a day.

He told reporters last year he had quit but still had an occasional cigarette, without specifying how many.

His health was described as excellent and he does not have to return for another medical until 2012. Obama, who is 48, has 20-20 vision, weighs 179 llbs in his shoes and clothes, and requires little medication. Apart from the nicotine replacement, he uses a non-steroid anti-inflammatory medication associated with physical activity: he regularly plays basketball at the White House.

The doctors also recommended "moderation of alcohol intake".

Can't balme that one on Bush. Having 300 parties in his presidency didn't help. Lots of wine.

Were it not for the problems Bush created for them to overcome, they'd have no reason to celebrate having such an opportunity.

Bush's fault still.

Beck was pretty funny about this today on the radio. He said Obama's lying about the number of cigarettes he smokes- no one uses Nicorette for just smoking EIGHT cigarettes a day. (I vaguely recall that one of the jobs of Reggie Love, as "body man," is to carry Obama's cigarettes (Marlboros) and his Nicorette.)

Also, Beck died laughing at the "moderation of alcohol intake." Anyone who has ever been to an AA meeting knows that doctors NEVER say that in a report unless there's a problem- and remember, alcohol use is "self-reported." Drinkers, when asked, will almost always say, "I just had two drinks." If stopped by a cop, they might say three drinks, but drunks almost always say TWO. Then, they'll say they were taking something like cough syrup (they've been fighting off a cold, you see) or Ambien (somewhat dicey excuse nowadays) or some over-the-counter medication that causes them to appear drunker than a mere two drinks. It's pretty funny how predictable they are, but the results aren't.
