President Franklin Roosevelt was perhaps the most famous cigarette-smoking President in history. He smoked up to two packs a day, but you rarely would see him smoking in newsreels. This Soviet newsreel from the Yalta Conference, shot just a short time before FDR's death, captures him smoking at the table with Stalin, Churchill and other leaders. The Yalta Conference, sometimes called the Crimea Conference and codenamed the Argonaut Conference, held from February 4 to 11, 1945, was the World War II meeting of the heads of government of the United States, the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union, represented by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Premier Joseph Stalin, respectively, for the purpose of discussing Europe's post-war reorganization. The conference convened in the Livadia Palace near Yalta in Crimea, USSR.
