he has a supportive wife who has been a help in getting him to quit

He's finally done it! According to the latest medical report released by the White House President Barack Obama has quit smoking for good and is now in perfect health!  The medical report which was issued by Dr Jeffrey C Kuhlman shows considerable improvement from his first medical which noted that he was still smoking occasionally and that his cholesterol was a little bit on the high side. The new medical report shows that not only has 50 year old President Obama quit smoking but that he also eat healthily, gets regular exercise and only occasionally has a little bit of alcohol.

President Obama however is still in the danger zone for smoking! Having been a long term smoker he is still at a slightly higher risk for many illnesses such as heart disease, erectile dysfunction and cancer but that risk will diminish daily as he stays away from cigarettes. This is not the first time the President Obama has quit smoking and then failed so he needs to make an extra special effort to keep healthy. By eating healthily and getting regular exercise he is likely to keep the smoking cravings at bay. He is also lucky in that he has a supportive wife who is said to have been a great help in getting him to quit smoking for good.

President Obama should also be aware that at his age smoking is many times more dangerous than the smoking he did when he was in his twenties and thirties.  His body will find it much more difficult to regenerate and any smoking he does now will immediately awaken his semi dormant addiction. Maybe President Obama should get some ideas from the President of North Korea, Kim Jong-il who instituted a smoking ban in his country in every single place but it was only effective when he himself was there!
