Its illegal to smoke in a government building. You are allowed to smoke in your own private residence. So what would happen if a president that smoked got elected? Its a government building, and its his private residence. Would they make him leave to smoke? Or could he smoke in the White House?
 
Yeah, hes the pres. He can break the rules that are made.
 
Thats what I said, but my friend thinks they would make him walk out and go stand on the front porch. Which would really suck for him ;)
 
i would fire him if he told me to go outside (but i dont smoke so it aiight)
Worker: Sir your gonna have to smoke outside
Prez:How about NO u little B*tch Your Firrrred (with Mr Mcman's (WWE) expression from Raw 2 weeks ago.)
 
I don't think we're likely to vote a President that smokes in front of the camera. I'm not against a candidade just because they like to have an evening or two with a pipe by the fireplace, but the idea of someone making world decisions but thinking in the back of thier mind: "Darn it! I forgot to ask the Secret Service to buy me a carton of Winstons again!" ...it would sort of irk me.

If it's his house, then he's permitted to smoke in it; but there's probably a "smoking room" for that, or he's gotta go outside. I'm sure plenty of elected officials light up a cigarette or two.
 
Must we all forget President Clinton and his famous cigar?

I'd fathom a guess that a cigarette smoking president will never get elected. An occasional cigar or pipe would have no effect on the run for election.

AO
 
The white house is still a goverment house whether or not he lives there.
 
Well..
in my opinion
if it's a place that "attracts" tourists then it shouldn't really be called a private home..
besides.. the presedent doesn't own the white house does he?
 
no, but it's considered his private residence, since he lives there exclusively.
 
pollies seem to be above the law in some cases...
 
Yeah, but if it's his private residence, shouldn't he be able to keep it even after he's not the prez anymore? makes you think doesn' t it..

We'd never elect such a man.

No no - it's not his private residence. It is definitely a government building.
 
I would imagine that he'd be able to smoke in the White House, because he's the President. But you wouldn't get to hear about it, and the air-conditioning extractors would be running quite hard.
 
If you think a pres that smokes is bad, look at what we have in office now.;) :lol:

Did you take a look at the thread name? "What if?"...I never said this was going to happen.
