If you expect the president to be photographed smoking a cigarette you are unlikely to be right. He smokes but he won't be photographed doing it.
I thought that was the mistake in this photo. You can see the cigarette and the wiff of smoke. But careful examination shows that he is pressing his cheek which a smoker wouldn't be doing. The illusion is caused by the sculptured head in the background. This is the classic negative image. (click to enlarge)
