Where's Ronnie Reagan? Not sure he smoked in the White House, but he shilled for Philip Morris for a while during his movie star days:

"I'm Sending Chesterfields to all my friends!"

At 66 I sure recall smokers all over the place--in the army in Germany in the early 60s salesmen offered us three or four different brands as we were in the morning chow line (free packs of 5 cigarettes) but since 1965 I have smoked very few cigars or cigs. My non smoking parents had big glass ashtrays in the living room for guests. JFK with a cigar and Raybans was cool, man! So was Steve McQueen! Sure is a drastic nonsmoking world now!

You wrote you can't include W in your 'survey' but you do anyway?

Agree with detroitz, definitely not Warren Harding.

This was better than the Guardian. I feel as though a whole layer of the political onion has been stripped away, revealing, well more onion, but still, good effort...
