BillyVance 35 #1 May 30, 2008 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?"Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #2 May 30, 2008 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 ) 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!

BillyVance 35 #4 May 31, 2008 QuoteBush, 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!"Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #5 May 31, 2008 QuoteBush, Jr. doesn't now oh he did before? I get the feeling he smoked cigarettes. Cigars. Pipes. Bongs. Maybe even freebase. I don't think smoking in the past can be ruled out. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
