In an interview with iVillage.com, First Lady Michelle Obama explained that President Obama quit smoking because of his children, not just for his health.
The first lady said that Obama used himself as an example to the girls that as why they shouldn’t start smoking just because “its cool” and explained to them that the habit was hard to break. President Obama quit smoking in 2011.
“It wasn’t the presidency, it wasn’t the pressure from me, it wasn’t even his health, because he wasn’t a big smoker,” Michelle Obama explained, citing their daughters Sasha and Malia as the president’s motivation for quitting.
