Can Obama resist the urge to resume smoking?

Congratulations to Obama, both on winning the election – and in resisting the temptation to smoke during the stress of the campaign. Although, as we revealed in Smoking Obama, he did have the occasional drag (in cigarettes he ‘bummed’ of other campaigners) he managed to avoid resuming the habit in total. Apparently, this was part of a deal he made with his wife in return for being allowed to run for President!

The question is whether he can remain off tobacco. He may still be addicted to Nicotine, as he apparently chewed nicotine gum continually during the campaign, and with the undoubted problems and stress that face him as President of the world’s only remaining superpower, facing a crumling world economy and environment, two wars and the ever present spectre of terrorism, the tempation to resume smoking will be great. We wish him luck in his efforts to give up, and hope, unlike our sales manager, he does not resume smoking!
