Sparkly: 1. That doesn’t contradict what I wrote. 2. Your Rabbi says that it’s muttar to not be shomer nogeiah and not dress tzniusly, but that it’s assur to smoke?!!! It that is true, I can’t say I think very highly of your Rabbi. And you have said that someone who keeps nothing but Shabbos and Kashrus is Frum, yet, now you are saying that someone who smokes is otd?!! That is ridiculous!
My point was not that it’s muttar to smoke, but that there are different categories of something being assur. For example, smoking can not be compared to not being shomer negiah which is an outright aveirah either D’Oraisah or D’rabbanim l’chol hadeios!
