The Property Rights NewsletterOctober 30, 2009 - Issue #545"I have made it a rule never to smoke more than one cigar at a time."
- Mark Twain
Presidents Who Smoke: 61% of all U. S. presidents smoked tobacco. As the legendary story reveals John F. Kennedy gave orders to Press Secretary Pierre Salinger to round up as many Corona cigars (JFK's favorite) before signing the Cuban trade embargo. Salinger later reported 1,200 Coronas in his possession. It was not until the Clinton administration when an absolute no-smoking policy was implemented in the White House and Hillary happily removed all the ashtrays from the premises. So where might Barack Obama sneak a smoke? It's rumored that Willie Nelson fired up on the White House roof when invited to spend a night, though we doubt it was tobacco he was smoking.
