One can only HOPE...not. As far as your second and third possibilities are concerned. I actually hope he DOES get the nomination, though.
...but he is fast, with good wind even when he was a smoker.
So, is this this confirmation Barack is really quit? Or just media puffery (heh) and/or wishful thinking? I haven't seen anything at all on the subject of Obama's smoking for about a year, now...
Not that I give two hoots in Hades, but it IS a character-flaw, ya know. 
Usually I don't wonder whether politicians are smoking, but what.
i don't believe bush ever quit drinking
