whataguy,
You are an addict in denial. Like a typical addict, you seem to say you can’t help it, you blame others, and that you need something to help you relax. In your case it’s tobacco, in others it’s something else. In any case, it’s just rationalization. If people really need an outlet, let them try exercise or playing music or another creative hobby.
The passuk ‘?????? ???) ???? ????? ?) does not apply to someone who knows what he is doing is wrong. That person is not a Peti.
