Before I read the caption my eye was first drawn to the guy at FDR's left and I thought it might be Capone. Not possible with FDR there though, or at that date. Could you imagine a Presidential Candidtae smoking at an appearance today?

Clinton, but he didn't inhale. Anyone remember the commercial with Ken Griffey Jr. who was asked if he chewed tobacco, and he answered "yes, but I don't spit"? |

Clinton occasionally smoked cigars and occasionally used them in other ways!  OswaldTheOsprey |

In that case, it probably was FDR. At least as for as smoking publicly. OswaldTheOsprey |
