Then Its Not An Addiction

President Obama, in his effort to both maintain his habit and pretend as if its evil, seems to be comparing the occasional sneaking of a cigarette to when an alcoholic "struggles" with their addiction.

The problem here is that if you are an alcoholic that occasionally has a beer every now and again, then you AREN'T AN ALCOHOLIC! Congrats, you can control your shit. You are just a person who likes to drink and might have taken it overboard at some point in your life [see also: 50% of the college grads in America].

Likewise, if Obama "falls of the wagon" and chain smokes a pack of camels, well then maybe he has a problem...if he likes smoking and occasionally has a cigarette, then his problem is not nicotine addiction, but rather his problem is the political and social stigma of smoking.

Word of advice, just switch to cigars, they contain copious amounts of nicotine and are socially acceptable for politicians to use.
