Smoking

Question

Does Rav Abadi think smoking is permitted?

Answer

Answered by Aaron Abadi

Smoking is not permitted, since it has been proven that smokers run a very high risk of lung cancer. The smoking of a single cigarette is not the problem, but rather the one who becomes addicted, and ends up smoking a pack a day. Of course, that starts with one or two cigarettes. Years ago, smoking was all around us, and it was hard to avoid it. Now, it is highly recommended to "just say no!" AA
