The former leader of the Republican Party who himself smokes two packets a day according to Daily Mail revealed that Obama was instead chewing Nicorette at one of their meetings in 2011.
“I’m smoking a cigarette, and they bring me a glass of merlot. And we’re sitting there a little while, and here’s the president drinking iced tea and chomping on Nicorette,” disclosed Boehner.
Nicorette alleviates cravings for nicotine in cigarettes.
Obama confessed that he picked up the smoking up while his late teens, and would continue to smoke for 30 years.
He slowed down to a few cigarettes a day when he launched his campaign for president in 2007.
In 2011, Michelle announced that Obama had stopped smoking for about a year.
