President-Elect Says He Cuts Himself Some Slack
Obama Pledges Not To Smoke In White House
WASHINGTON -- President-elect Barack Obama said you won't catch him lighting up a cigarette in the smoke-free White House.
Asked in an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press" whether he has kicked the habit, the president-elect admits there are times when he's "fallen off the wagon." But he adds under the circumstances, he thinks he's "done a terrific job" of making himself "much healthier."
He also vowed there would be no violations of the no-smoking rule in the White House.
Obama told the magazine Men's Health that he wished he had more time for staying fit and that he still occasionally smokes a cigarette.
Obama said in that interview that he had bummed a cigarette a couple of times during the campaign. But, he said because he was running for president, he needed to cut himself "a little slack."
