Akiva’s wife, Rochel rode a cammel,-cars weren’t around in those days.supported her family by learning a skill-schools weren’t around in those times, While her husband learned torah. and chatted with friends whilst in her lonely hours-the internet wasn’t around in those times either.
the phenomina of smoking wasn’t around either in those times, as far as I know. however drinking was, and it was only heard of for the males. is there any famale in the torah that would drink???? no, because It just wasn’t dignified for a woman to do so. and I think that would be the same answer for the smoking if it was around then.
