Malia Obama was recently spotted smoking a cigarette outside a convenience store in Los Angeles.
The 25-year-old daughter of former President Barack Obama was photographed casually puffing on a cigarette while engaged in conversation with a friend next to a black car.
She was dressed in a relaxed outfit, wearing a blue cardigan, brown trousers, and black shoes, with her long hair down.
This is not the first time that Malia has been seen smoking publicly.
In 2016, she was photographed smoking a joint at the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago.
Interestingly, she was also photographed wearing a “Smoking Kills” t-shirt at another music festival in Philadelphia a few weeks later.

Like father like daughter
It’s worth noting that her father, former President Barack Obama, has openly discussed his past struggles with smoking.
He admitted to smoking up to 10 cigarettes a day before the 2008 election but made a promise to quit to his wife, Michelle Obama.
Although he occasionally struggled with it, he ultimately credited his eldest daughter, Malia, with helping him quit smoking for good.
His main motivation was making her proud and not disappointing her in the long term.
Malia’s public actions have occasionally garnered attention and sparked discussions, given her status as the daughter of a former U.S. president.
