why cant a smoker be a ben torah??
Because he’s knowingly violating an issur d’oreita.
Because he’s putting himself at risk for heart disease.
Because he’s putting himself at risk for hypertension.
Because he’s putting himself at risk for emphysema.
Because he’s putting his family at risk for all these diseases from second hand smoke.
Because he’s putting himself at risk for an early death, making his wife an early widow, and his children early orphans.
I hope this answers your question.
