Sasha Obama was spotted puffing on a cigarette after going solo for a luxury spa trip in a crop top and bright green sweatpants.
The former First Daughter, 22, was photographed stepping out of the lavish Los Angeles wellness center following some R&R on Thursday.
The spa describes itself as ‘a sanctuary, a place of wellness and beauty, inspiration and optimism’ and offers a slew of classic treatments such as messages, facials, and manicures.
An onlooker told DailyMail.com that the University of Southern California graduate spent more than three hours at the self-care center.
Afterwards, Sasha headed to her car in a black tank top, which put her midriff on display, and a pair of neon green trousers.
She paired the comfortable look with some black flipflops, and carried a matching sweatshirt and a dark handbag.
Sasha looked down at her phone as she walked through the parking lot to her vehicle.
The 22-year-old kept it natural with minimal makeup, and she kept her long, braided, brown locks pulled back in a ponytail.
Before driving off, the youngest daughter of President Barack Obama stopped to enjoy a cigarette.
This is certainly not the first time that Sasha has been caught smoking – as paparazzi have snapped shots of her partaking in the act on numerous occasions.
Earlier this month, she was seen lighting a cigarette in a skimpy white bikini top and a navy blue maxi skirt, while chatting with some friends at a Labor Day party.
It’s a habit she may have picked up from her father, who previously admitted to smoking up to 10 cigarettes a day and has been very honest about his struggle to quit.
Barack, 62, began smoking as a teenager and he famously promised his wife, Michelle, 59, that he would stop before he campaigned for president.
In 2009, he admitted during a press conference, ‘As a former smoker I constantly struggle with it.
‘Have I fallen off the wagon sometimes? Yes. Am I daily smoker or a constant smoker? No. I don’t do it in front of my kids. I don’t do it in front of my family.
‘And, you know, I would say that I am 95 per cent cured, but there are times where I mess up.’
‘And, you know, I would say that I am 95 per cent cured, but there are times where I mess up.’
He credited his eldest daughter, Malia, now 25, with helping him to quit, writing that seeing her ‘frown’ at him after she ‘smelled it on his breath’ made him determined to stop.
Malia has been seen puffing on a cigarette numerous times in recent years.
Sasha’s spa trip came just days after a convicted felon made wild gay sex claims about her father.
Last week, con man Larry Sinclair alleged that Barack performed oral sex on him twice in Chicago in 1999, and that he witnessed him buying and smoking cocaine during an appearance on former Fox host Tucker Carlson’s show.
Larry – who has a lengthy criminal history, including convictions on forgery, fraud and larceny charges, and has served prison time in Arizona, Florida, and Colorado – first made the claims in 2008, while Barack was gearing up to run for president.
At the time, his accusations were roundly condemned as an attempted political hatchet-job. He has never offered any proof of his claims against the former president.
Larry’s claims were given a new lease of life last month, however, after The New York Post released a letter written by Barack in 1982, when he was 21 years old, to his girlfriend Alex McNear.
In it, he wrote that he ‘loves making love to men daily, but in the imagination,’ according to the publication.
