Barack Obama’s youngest daughter was spotted smoking a cigarette in her car before driving away in Beverly Hills.
Photos obtained by DailyMail.com show Sasha Obama, 23, wearing a dark shirt tucked into light blue, high-waisted jeans as she walks to her car on Friday.
Accessories included green loafers, a large brown handbag, square glasses, large rings and a necklace with a striking round pendant.
The former First Daughter and University of Southern California graduate looked pensive as she puffed on a cigarette from the driver’s seat.

Their famous father told Jimmy Kimmel in June that his daughters have absolutely no interest in entering politics.
“That’s a question I don’t have to answer because Michelle pointed out so early on that you’d be crazy to go into politics,” the former president said. “That’s never going to happen.”
Still, the 63-year-old described Malia and Sasha, who both live in Los Angeles, as “powerful young women.”
When Sasha turned 23 on June 10, father shared a photo of himself with his youngest daughter as a child, with a heartwarming caption.
“Congratulations, Sasha! It’s been such a joy to watch you forge your own path in the world… and you’re just getting started,” the former president said.

Michelle Obama shared a more recent photo of herself hugging Sasha with the caption: ‘Happy birthday, Sasha! You make me so incredibly proud. I hope this year brings you everything you want and more. Love you.’
Sasha moved to the West Coast in 2022 after transferring from the University of Michigan to USC.
In May 2023, she graduated from university with a degree in sociology, as her famous parents cheered her on from the audience.
In December, she was photographed showing off her toned stomach and navel piercings in a funky skirt and crop top while heading to the nail salon.
The sisters have been photographed smoking cigarettes on several occasions, a habit they may have picked up from their father.
Barack started smoking as a teenager and promised his wife Michelle he would quit before campaigning for president.

Barack Obama said his daughters have absolutely no interest in going into politics because Michelle “drew it into their heads” that they would be “crazy” to choose that career.
He previously admitted to smoking up to 10 cigarettes a day and has been very honest about the efforts he has made to quit for years.
In 2009, he admitted at a press conference: ‘As a former smoker, I struggle with it all the time.
‘Have I fallen off the wagon? Yes. Am I a daily smoker or a constant smoker? No. I don’t do it in front of my children. I don’t do it in front of my family.
“And you know, I would say I’m 95 percent healed, but there are times when I mess up.”
In his 2020 memoir, A Promised Land, he credited his eldest daughter Malia with helping him quit. He wrote that he became determined to quit when he saw her “frowning” at him after “smelling it on his breath.”
