Barack Obama’s youngest daughter was spotted smoking a cigarette in her car before driving off in Beverly Hills.
In pictures obtained by the DailyMail.com, Sasha Obama, 23, can be seen wearing a dark button-down shirt tucked into light blue high-waisted denim shorts as she walked to her car on Friday.
She accessorized with green slip-on shoes, a large brown handbag, square eyeglasses, chunky rings and a necklace with an eye-popping circular pendant.
The former First Daughter and University of Southern California graduate looked pensive as she puffed on a cigarette from the drivers seat.
Sasha and her older sister, Malia, 26, spent eight years of their childhood living in the White House after their dad served as the 44th President of the United States from 2009.

Their famous father told Jimmy Kimmel in June that his daughters have absolutely no interest in entering politics.
‘That is a question I do not need to answer, because Michelle drilled into them so early that you would be crazy to go into politics,’ the former President shared. ‘It’ll never happen.’
Even so, the 63-year-old described Malia and Sasha, who both live in Los Angeles, as ‘powerful young women.’
When Sasha turned 23 years old on June 10, her father shared a picture of himself with this youngest daughter as a child with a heartwarming caption.
‘Happy birthday, Sasha! It’s been such a joy to watch you make your own way in the world…and you’re just getting started,’ the former president said.

He previously admitted to smoking up to 10 cigarettes a day and has been very honest about his struggle to quit over the years.
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.’
In his 2020 memoir, A Promised Land, he credited his eldest daughter, Malia, with helping him to quit, writing that seeing her ‘frown’ at him after she ‘smelled it on his breath’ made him determined to stop.
