WASHINGTON (AP) --.
"There are times where I've fallen off the wagon," the president-elect said when asked in a broadcast interview whether he has kicked the habit.
"I've done a terrific job, under the circumstances, of making myself much health," he said. "And I think that you will not see any violations of these rules in the White House," he said on Sunday's "Meet the Press" on NBC.
Obama told the magazine Men's Health in an interview for its November issue that he wished he had more time for staying fit and that he still occasionally smoked a cigarette.
Obama said in that interview that he had bummed a cigarette a couple of times during the campaign. "But I figure, seeing as I'm running for president, I need to cut myself a little slack," he said.

TW - Who was the last president to smoke cigarettes while in office?
Smokers have rights too, I'd burn one with him
If he chooses to smoke-so what, it's his lungs, and his wife's and childrens... What you should care about is when he tells you something that he is going to do, he should do it. He hasn't even been inaugurated yet and his campaign promises to the obamanites have already been reduced to ideas that "won't work because of the prior administration's actions". He has your vote, you can't take it back. THE ONLY THING THAT WAS GOOD ABOUT THIS ELECTION WAS THE FACT THAT WE NOW HAVE A BLACK PRESIDENT. IT IS ABOUT TIME THIS HAPPENED. IT IS AMAZING TO ME THAT SUCH AN "OPPRESSED" PERSON CAME TO BE PRESIDENT. Kinda shoots a big hole in the theory of black oppression by whites. I would have proudly voted for Colin Powell or Condoleeza Rice.
