But that's exactly what Barack Obama tried to do before he launched his presidential campaign. Given months of campaigning and constant pressure, it's little wonder that the now-elected President found the task difficult - he reportedly gave in to temptation on a number of occasions. However, the soon-to-be president is now apparently nicotine-free after winning the fight. The then-senator first announced his decision to quit in 2007 to please his wife, Michelle, while he was on The David Letterman Show. Of course, his exposure to the American public, which might be suspicious of a cigarette-addicted President, was undoubtedly a powerful motivation as well.
