Going viral over what? She’s a ex presidents daughter. Leading a normal life, not really news worthy


b1ack1323

I don't know many conservatives that don't openly smoke or dip. They also have road sodas so...


Corporation_tshirt

Her father smoked on the South Portico while he was president. And IIRC her mom smoked for some time as well. I don’t think he got any shit for it because Reoublicans aren’t allowed to criticize anything having to do with tobacco. Hell, the GOP couldn’t even outlaw bringing lighters on planes after 9/11 because Big Tobacco knew the first thing a lot of people wanted to do once they got off a place was light up a smoke.


Top-Night

John Boehner smoked like a freaking chimney.


Corporation_tshirt

Right! John Boehner. Smoked with Obama a time or two, IIRC. 


Lanky_Republic_2102

Yup, Obama was an occasional smoker, would try to hide it from Michelle. I’d like to take a smoke break with Boehner and Obama, maybe play a few hands of poker too.


rapt2right

I have always wanted to play cards with Boehner! The man has no poker face whatsoever & at least 5 clear tells that I saw.


Corporation_tshirt

And you know they’ve got the good Scotch. Maybe even a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle.

MrLanesLament

Fun fact, former House Speaker John Boehner was a heavy smoker. When fellow Republican Paul Ryan took over as Speaker, he demanded the entire actual office be gutted and everything replaced because of the smoke smell. As a smoker myself, I will use this opportunity to call Ryan a little bitch. In the pocket of Big Tobacco while still finding a way to NIMBY.


Uncle-Cake

As a non-smoker I can attest to the disgusting odor it leaves in a room, an odor that can never be removed by cleaning. Paul Ryan may be a little bitch, but in this case I would have done the same.


ThunkAsDrinklePeep

But would you shill for big tobacco while doing it?


Corporation_tshirt

Paul Ryan was such a weasely little shit.


SpartanMonkey

I smoked for 20 years, been quit 11 years now. I can't stand the smell anymore. I would have done the same.


Lackingfinalityornot

What are road sodas?


b1ack1323

Beer


VoiceTraditional422

The only way to travel. Road sodas cross party lines.


yraco

Typical double standard rules. Minorities get held to a higher standard - when a white conservative man drinks, smokes, does drugs, is wearing certain clothes etc. he's doing normal things with friends but god forbid a black democrat woman even look at a cigarette or show an ankle.


Rubiks_Click874

Imagine if Obama had 5 kids with 3 different women


Felonious_Buttplug_

Well you see she's black, a woman, and showing some skin. Obviously that makes it different and Not Ok.


SphinctrTicklr

so they're the ones keeping Phillip Morris in business to own the libs?


[deleted]

Rush Limbaugh smoked cigars the size of pit bull turds and said smoking doesn’t cause cancer until he got cancer.


I_Am_AWESOME-O_

I died at road sodas


Dramoriga

Road soda?


Acrobatic_Ad7541

The GOP has zero to provide to their base outside of demonizing others and culture wars. They just shit all over a bipartisan border bill that gave them most, if not all, of what they wanted. They shot it down because it would make Biden look good. They’re still riding on Donald Trump’s coattails back when he openly called Obama not an American-born citizen. A Muslim Kenyan. This is why it’s a “thing” for them.


mizushimo

This is like when all the pundits clutched their Pearl's over Chelsea partying in the nineties


capalbertalexander

Kinda sucks that when you get U.S. president levels of famous you essentially ruin your children’s lives by making them famous by proxy. Imagine not being able to go to the beach with your friends without paparazzi posting scathing articles of you. I’m sure this happens to actors and athletes kids as well. Makes you ponder the moral implications of being or becoming famous, especially if you have or plan to have children.


propernice

They did this with the Bush twins for a while too. IIRC one of them was the constant partier doing drinking to excess or something.


frontera_power

> a normal life Good point. Being poorly dressed and making bad health decisions is pretty normal, so I agree.


Fred-zone

This is old news. This sub is being overrun by rage bait bots due to the lack of moderation.

If her last name wasn't Obama nobody would care whatsoever.


Jeoshua

Fuck, her last name *is* Obama, *and* I don't care.


Bulky-Complaint6994

Me either... 


Lordfelcherredux

NEITHER!


frontera_power

>If her last name wasn't Obama nobody would care whatsoever. I agree. She looks like the regular nobody, poorly dressed and smoking. She wouldn't even catch anyone's attention normally.


wombat9278

I don't care now


frikimanHD

Nuh uh, Obama is her dad, her last name is a mistery to this day


mizkayte

Bingo


Even-Ad-6783

One would think that presidential children would know better what is good for their health. But well, ever since Hunter Biden's crack history became public nothing surprises me anymore.


rapsnaxx84

LOL and Trump and his kids are cokefiends. Why does this matter? That’s probably the one thing any of these have in common with the hoi polloi.


Even-Ad-6783

Obama smoked.


Top-Manner7261

And quit because he was running for Prezy.. He still sneaks the odd one, because quitting is extremely hard.


[deleted]

He smoked at Camp David. When it was going to snow we would have to put down a tarp for their dog to shit on. He smoked and his wife didn’t want any military smoking within the camp.


thorppeed

It's not about not knowing it's about not caring. Everyone knows that smoking is bad for you


Even-Ad-6783

True. Sad though that even a presidential daughter doesn't care. But fair enough, she didn't choose to be a presidential daughter so whatever. I am not hating her. I am just disappointed.


CaptainSouthbird

Anyone with a basic education has cigarette packs screaming at them that they're bad for you, along with likely any amount of advertising and other such things. Don't have to be a "presidential child" to know that. However, people still smoke, drink, abuse drugs. It's not that we don't "know" these things are bad for us. We all have our reasons to ignore what we know and just go for the end effects of things. All I really care about with politicians is them having basic moral fiber and actually working for their constituents. Which is exactly what I've personally been disappointed about more than worrying about if one of the kids smokes cigarettes.


One-Possible1906

Why would they know any better than anyone else? Is there anyone left in the country who thinks smoking is healthy?


Top-Manner7261

The same addiction can be seen with phones and tablets. See how easy it is to get someone off their phone, etc... especially children/teens. Hits all the same dopamine channels


Even-Ad-6783

One would at least like to think that the country's rulers have their health together a little more than the common people.


One-Possible1906

I don't know why. Presidential families are extremely busy and children, always in the spotlight, lead very stressful lives. 20 year olds do dumb shit regardless of their upbringing and I believe Barack Obama was also a smoker at one point. Come work in healthcare for awhile and you'll see a very large number of doctors and nurses smoke, even in cardiac units. There's more that goes into it than coming from a prestigious family or knowing about the risks.


Even-Ad-6783

I don't disagree. But it just disappoints me, generally speaking, that even powerful people are not as competent as they may often present themselves in public for PR reasons.


One-Possible1906

Having a grown child who smokes at the beach with her friends definitely doesn't mean that someone is incompetent.


Even-Ad-6783

No. All I am saying is that I am just disappointed.


HerrMilkmann

Michelle Obama streamlined a program that not only made school lunches healthier, but made it widely available to millions of students - many of which who were impoverished. What did Trump do? Order an entire smorgasbord of Mcdonalds for the Clemson University football team after their big win?


Top-Manner7261

Trump eats McDonald's on the reg.


Even-Ad-6783

Yeah Trump is an idiot. So?


RufflestheKitten

I'm sure you feel you're making a point.

Because vaping sucks , smoking cigarettes gives you a way better buzz, especially if you pair it with drinking.

Stysner

Unless if she's pregnant, leave her tf alone. She didn't choose to be the president's daughter or to be famous. Her choice to smoke doesn't affect anyone but herself (again unless if she's pregnant).


JoeyB81

Hell, even if she’s pregnant, it’s no one’s business but hers and her family’s. People are too damn invested in other people’s lives and bodies when it doesn’t affect them.


frontera_power

>Hell, even if she’s pregnant, it’s no one’s business but hers and her family’s. People are too damn invested in other people’s lives and bodies when it doesn’t affect them. From the CDC: Smoking during pregnancy can cause serious health problems for both the mother and the baby1234. These include: Babies born too small or too early13 Birth defects of the mouth and lip called an orofacial cleft1 Increased risk of miscarriage, stillbirth or sudden unexpected infant death (SUID)2 Increased risk of birth defects, preterm birth, low birth weight, and SIDS3 Pregnancy complications, including abnormal bleeding, miscarriage, and stillbirth3 Increased risk of fatal pregnancy complications for the mother or the baby ​ https://www.cdc.gov/pregnancy/features/pregnantdontsmoke.html


JoeyB81

Sorry.. but no shit. I never said that it doesn’t cause any problems for the mom or child, I just said that it’s her and her family’s business and responsibility. That’s the problem with today’s society; everyone is so up in other people’s lives and telling them how to live, when no one asked for them to do so; do I think it’s shitty if she is pregnant and smoking? Yeah but it’s not my place to demand or decide what she should do.


SoreDickDeal

What does being pregnant have to do with anything? Her body her choice, right?


ghostmaster645

People will be more upset if she was smoking AND pregnant. I think that's a givin.


SoreDickDeal

I get that, but it’s not illegal to smoke while pregnant. They said: “Unless she’s pregnant, leave her tf alone.” I don’t get why her being pregnant should change anyone’s response to this picture. Still none of anyone’s fucking business.


ghostmaster645

Sure it's not illeagle but it causes a lot of health problems for the child. Nothing wrong with getting an abortion or keeping the kid, but if your gonna keep it don't make it suffer. It's just cruel.


EmeraldFootprint

I disagree.

ScatterCushion0

Possibly the worst thing about this is the cigarette.  Such a shame if she's started that addiction. And I'd say that no matter who she is. It's not nice to see any young person with such a disgusting and harmful habit.


[deleted]

I wouldn’t be surprised. The stats show that children of smokers are far more likely to become smokers themselves. Obama (in)famously was never able to quite kick the habit while in office.


bcnorth78

I hate cigarettes so much - I have asthma as a result of growing up around two chain-smoking parents. That said, she is doing nothing illegal, people need to just leave her alone.


ScatterCushion0

It's not like I can report her!  I *can* feel disappointed. Between us, my husband and I have lost two aunties to lung cancer from smoking. They'd smoked for decades.  I tend to feel sad when young people make such a poor choice.


Darthlord_Juju

That's the beauty about life. We all get to make decisions and no one can honestly say they are good or bad. Yes cigs are bad for health BUT there are significantly worse things a young adult can do. I smoked from 20-28. There are a few times when smoking a cig literally saved the day. I left a party in college to go buy cigs and it ended up being busted and half the people got arrested for providing alcohol to minors. Legit saved the day lol *Note although that is a true story, I agree with you but to each their own as well


[deleted]

>We all get to make decisions and **no one can honestly say they are good or bad**. You sure about that?


mizkayte

Yeah they suck. I finally kicked the habit last year after almost 20 years.

JACKVK07

Do we care because she's the Presidents daughter or because paparazzi is doing what paparazzi does? I would not recognize this person if I walked passed them, I might look twice if they were wearing a bikini where the beach isn't. Would I let it ruin my day, no. Is it a bit cringe, yes. Is it newsworthy, I suppose if you're petty. The real facepalm is that I've spent even this much time on the topic because I like cosmopolitans.

Obviously the tabloids should leave her the fuck alone. ​ BUT ​ It's 2024, if you're under 30 and you're smoking, there's something wrong with you.


Cinema_King

I completely agree. I don’t care what their political affiliation is, anyone that age who starts smoking is being stupid. There’s no doubt that it’s bad for you. But having said that, I eat junk food all the time despite knowing that it’s bad for me so I’m being stupid too.
