Obama: I Quit Smoking Because I'm Scared of My Wife

Barack Obama may have kicked his smoking habit, but turns out that he didn't do it for health or PR reasons -- POTUS quit because he was scared of Michelle.

CNN captured the confession during a candid conversation between Obama and Maina Kiai, a United Nations Special Rapporteur, at the UN General Assembly on Monday. Obama asks Kiai if he still smokes, then the President jokes he hasn't smoked "in six years" because "I'm scared of my wife."

In 2011, Michelle Obama said it had been "almost a year" since her hubby had picked up a cigarette.

It's good to know who's the real head honcho of the First family.
