I am in agreement with dd smoking is an assur the Rambam writes it is a mitzvah to guard the guf. Smoking is very damaging not only to a Bohur who chooses to smoke but also to people who have to smell his smoke. If he gets sick from a lung infection then he may have stay home to recuperate and get well which interrupts his learning seder. A Mir or any Yeshiva Bachur (imho) does not belong on the internet in the first place. Why is he not learning with his chavrusa? Why take a YB who has a mind that is clear and pure from learning Gemorah, and sully it by making the internet totally available and accessible to him? What is the role of the RY., Mashgiach and the other Rabbis in the Yeshiva as far their level of involvement in the personal life of the Bochur? If someone is from a Frum Family do his Parents really want him surfing the net instead of learning?
