I don’t like dafbiyun’s story, though Yasher Koach on quitting smoking. (That’s not how Halachah works; we should never assume when we can actually learn what the right thing. To quote R’ Schachter (from another context), not learning the Halachah and just deciding to be Machmir is making a man-made religion. We have a God-given religion, that sometimes tells us to be Meikil and sometimes to be Machmir. Zil Gmor.)
