The new President-elect has a nasty habit, and it has nothing to do with Washington escort services: Barack Obama has admitted publicly that he is a smoker struggling to quit. Tom Brokaw recently grilled President Obama about his smoking habits and whether they would continue during his high-stress career in the White House (which is a smoke-free zone.). Obama has expressed his commitment to the American people to be a role model for hopeful quitters everywhere. Anti-smoking groups can barely contain themselves in the hope that maybe, just maybe, Obama will make his act to quit smoking a public campaign and encourage others to join him.  "It's a wonderful opportunity," says Cheryl Healton, president of the American Legacy Foundation, a Washington-based group that seeks to prevent smoking among young people. "The president-elect is in a position to help people understand that it's difficult to quit, and to encourage the 43 million adult Americans who smoke to join him in his efforts."
