If anyone deserves a cigarette it's Barack Obama. Dude has to deal with the Republicans and their sole mission to make his life more difficult, Vladimir Putin and his Cold War shit, and plethora of problems we're probably unaware of and wouldn't understand anyway. We get it. We're not going to judge dude if this photo does indeed show our president holding a pack of cigarettes. 

The photo above shows Obama in Germany for the G7 summit. He's speaking to Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and holding a rectangular object while pulling something from it. To the trained eye (i.e. anyone who's not naive) it sure as hell looks like he's taking out a cigarette. Filippo Sensi, a spokesman for Renzi, took the photo and posted it to his personal Instagram account. His most recent post came four hours ago, so he hasn't been kidnapped and taken to a CIA black site for his digital snitching... at least yet. 

Naturally, we can't help but wonder what kind of cigarettes the President smokes. As long as he doesn't smoke orange American Spirits, we're open to all possibilities. Before he supposedly quit in 2010 his smokes of choice were Marlboro Reds, according to The Telegraph
