for your info i smoke right now (im in middle of reading allen carrs book on smoking) and just to make a few things clear.one cigarette can “not” get you addicted, it take usually a month or two and it only takes 3 weeks to get the nicotine out of your body even if you smoked 100 cigarettes for a year, and as i saw on one of the pages someone wrote it costs 8 dollars a pack you can get it at 3.50 a pack if you buy it by the carton.also the reason it is wrong to smoke on purim is because once you take that first cigarette you want another one.and another thing ,im a teenager in yeshiva and as far as im concerned most people start out of peer pressure not because they want to be cool.and as far as halacha is concerned to have internet is probrably more against halacha than smoking (i have yeshivanet).as far as drinking i think its ok to drink once a year.its a mitzvah (even if bochurim take it a little over the limit).
