“chain smokers wont die if they don’t have a cigarette”
I’m not an addicted smoker, or even a casual one. I dont know what would and wouldnt happen, which is entirely irrelevant and a red herring as far as this conversation is concerned. A chain smoker can die of starvation of they dont have food. Like I said previously, it is not your cheshbon that he is a smoker, he also needs food. Give him money so he can buy food. That he MIGHT buy a cigarette is not your cheshbon, at least not according to my Rav. dont abide by the psak of my Rav to me, ask your own Rav.
“he can’t be faulted”
Can, can’t whats the difference.
