“I would hope every American adult, even those who smoke, would think, as I had to when I became president and I had this occasional bad habit of having my cigar once in a while, I would hope they would think about not doing it in public, not doing it around children, not setting a bad example. I think we adults have a responsibility to try to set a good standard for our young people and to basically say everybody’s got a lot of problems but being self-destructive is not a way to deal with them.”
