Obama announces--He wants to quit smoking

Sen. Barack Obama has announced that he plans to quit smoking, the Chicago "Free registration required" Tribune is reporting this afternoon.

From the Tribune:

"I've never been a heavy smoker," Obama said. "I've quit periodically over the last several years. I've got an ironclad demand from my wife that in the stresses of the campaign I don't succumb. I've been chewing Nicorette strenuously."

But Obama, 45, has smoked since he was in high school, so quitting won't be easy.
