Insert obligatory cigar joke here
Reuters:
Obama was often observed on the presidential campaign trail chewing Nicorette gum, which helps ease the craving for nicotine. He has tried several times to quit.
The 47-year-old president-elect, who takes office on January 20, works out daily at the gym and sometimes plays basketball. His doctor said in May he was in excellent health, often jogged 3 miles a day and was fit to serve as U.S. president.
Website www.cigaraficionado.com says Gerald Ford, who served from 1974-77, was the last U.S. president to use tobacco on a regular basis. The White House no-smoking rule was imposed by former First Lady Hillary Clinton, now Obama's nominee for secretary of state.

I have been wondering, where do the senior cabinet officers have their physical offices? I guess that Hillary will be stationed somewhere at the State Department.
If Obama wants to smoke at the White House, he can send her out of the country for long stretches at a time. Or if she has to come over for an emergency meeting, he can instruct all White House staff to fire up the Glade air fresheners, and to keep mum.
