Last U.S. President smoker?

Recommended Posts

So, who was the last U.S. President to be a regular smoker? Not really a big deal in the grand scheme of things but there was a news report that Barack Obama is a smoker, but that he was in good health and has been trying to quit.

I'm guessing Lyndon B Johnson was the last one?

Bush, Jr. doesn't now
Clinton smoked cigars - he never smoked anything to inhale.
Bush, Sr. didn't.
Reagan was a smoker in his younger days (the mid-1800's :P)
Carter didn't smoke - incompatible with working on "nukeyoolar" submarines
Ford smoked pipes
Nixon like cigars
LBJ smoked cigarettes until a heart attack in the 1950's and quit, only to resume ciggies after leaving the presidency.
JFK liked cigars - Jackie was a chain smoker.
Ike - he was a cigarette smoker! He was the last one who smoked ciggies in office.
Truman didn't use tobacco.
FDR - a chain smoker
Hoover, Coolidge & Harding - cigars
Wilson and Teddy Roosevelt did not use tobacco.
McKinley and Harrison liked cigars.
Grover Cleveland liked chaw!

Bush, Jr. doesn't now oh he did before?
Clinton smoked cigars - I knew that, but yeah, my point was cigarette smoking
Ford smoked pipes I remember seeing pictures of him with a pipe in his mouth
LBJ smoked cigarettes until a heart attack in the 1950's and quit, only to resume ciggies after leaving the presidency. I remember watching a documentary that he suffered some kind of mental illness after leaving office, a lot of paranoia or something
JFK liked cigars - Jackie was a chain smoker. I knew this after she got cancer, but of all the first ladies out there, it was the most shocking



Thanks for the indepth analysis!
