The source further stated that Barack apparently confronted Malia over her alleged use of marijuana in public during the family’s summer vacation. “The end of his term is in sight and the carefully crafted image of a world-beating family is unraveling right before his eyes,” added the source.
A few weeks after the controversy, Malia was seen wearing a tee-shirt which read, “Smoking Kills.”

Ironically, the former President of the United States, has himself had trouble quitting smoking. Barack started smoking in his teen years and has spoken about his bad habit on many occasions. He finally broke the old habit in 2011, joking that he is scared of Michelle Obama.
“I haven’t had a cigarette in probably six years… that’s because I’m scared of my wife,” quipped Barack. He earlier stated, “I’ve said before that as a former smoker I constantly struggle with it. Have I fallen off the wagon sometimes? Yes. Am I a daily smoker, a constant smoker? No.”
