Who was the first female to smoke in the White House?
It’s commonly known that Pat Nixon and Jackie Kennedy were chain smokers, although they kept it out of the public eye. It’s also commonly known that Rachel Jackson smoked a corn cob pipe, but she died before ever living in the White House. So who was the first female to smoke in the White House? First Lady or First Daughter, perhaps?
Alice Roosevelt (Longworth), the daughter of Teddy Roosevelt, was a smoker who caused quite a sensation with her daring to smoke, at first in private, and eventually in public. It was quite a scandal at the time (1901 — 1909). She was the first.
The cleaner, Dolores Delacroix, from New Orleans was the first smoker in 1786.
