| Description | ABC News' Sunlen Miller Reports: Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama admits he's bummed cigarettes a couple times on the campaign trail since publicly kicking his habit at the launch of his presidential run.
"I figure, seeing as I'm running for president, I need to cut myself a little slack," he told Men's Health in an interview for their November issue.
Obama originally cut his smoking habit at the request of his wife who pushed him to quit while launching his presidential campaign early last year.
In recent months, Obama has admitted to the fact that the rigors of the campaign trail have caused him to smoke a few times.
"I fell off the wagon a couple times during the course of it, and then was able to get back on," he told Chris Matthews in May, "But it is a struggle like everything else." |
