Reply To: SMOKING – why should it be MUTTAR?

working harder: “HOWEVER, although smoking may not scientifically reduce stress, mentally it does.”

– Only for somebody who is already addicted. Somebody stressed out will not feel a stress relief from his first cigarette. You answered yourself “Whenever a smoker is stressed out, they go outside for a smoke and the cig removes them from their surroundings.” A smoker. Not a normal person.

I also apologize – my arguments are nothing to do with muttar or assur, but in common sense. I tried to change the title, but i cannot figure out how to. Mods – if you can change the title to “Smoking: Why would anybody do it?”

I also want to make clear – the question is not for reasons why people do it, (e.g. peer pressure…) but rather logical reason.

In this weeks Hamodia, in the Health report, there was an article about deaths as a result of tobacco – it is responsible for 21% of deaths!!! Over 50 Million in the past 10 years!!!
