Many ask, "What is wrong with Obama smoking?".  Nothing is wrong with Obama, or anyone else, smoking, if they choose to do so.  What is wrong is that Obama has claimed to quit smoking, bowing to pressure from anti-smoking forces in America, while he really hasn't.  He should be a man, and stand up to these puritans, and say that smoking is a pleasure reserved for adults, that he chooses to indulge in.
Also what is wrong, is that he signed a bill into law that increases taxes on roll-your-own tobacco by 2100%.  That's two-thousand one-hundred percent!  And that is after promising not to raise taxes on anyone making less than $200,000.00 per year.  Who rolls their own cigarettes?  It is not rich people, my friends, is it?  And the same bill increased the federal tax on factory cigarettes by another dollar a pack.  Cigarettes in New York, or Chicago are $9.00 and $10.00 per pack now.
In short, there is some serious hypocrisy in his actions.
