While LDS values and morals drew the Rubios to the faith, Rubio says, it was the religion’s ban on tobacco, alcohol and coffee that made staying tough.

"Some of the church’s rules were difficult for my parents, especially my father, to abide by," Rubio says, adding that his dad, who never joined the LDS Church, had smoked since age 13 and worked as a bartender. Rubio says he chided his father for slinging booze, but also noted that Cuban coffee was a staple that neither parent would give up.
