“I hope you quit smoking,” Obama said.


Kiai said he still smokes "sometimes" and asked the president if he still indulged.

"No, no, I haven't had a cigarette in 6 years," Obama told Kiai. "That's because I'm scared of my wife."

Obama addressed his own struggles with the addiction in a 2011 video to urge Americans to kick the habit.

“The fact is, quitting smoking is hard,” he said in the video. “Believe me, I know.”
