We here at COED are big fans of tobacco. Yeah, we know it’s bad for you – really, really bad for you. But it’s good for the soul, damnit. Which is why we were so happy to hear rumors that Barack Obama has been smoking like a chimney over the past couple of months, despite trying to kick the habit at the beginning of his Presidential bid.

Hopefully he’ll keep it up, adding himself to the long lineage of tobacco-using US Presidents. Remember, at this nation’s inception, tobacco was one of the biggest cash crops (after hemp, which is a whole other post altogether). And from John Adams to Franklin D. Roosevelt to Bill Clinton, tobacco has had a home in the White House. Here is every President known to use tobacco.

You forgot one. Gerry Ford smoked a pipe.

And I don’t know if it counts or not, but Reagan had quit by the time he reached the White House.

Truman also smoked stogies…The Cigar-Lover Famous Key West Cigar Factory has long sold their ‘Truman’ cigars as their top smoke – and it is very good!
