“The Penei Yehoshua says that smoking is healthy. Who are we to argue with the Gedolei Achronim?”
The Pnei Yehosuah (Shabbos ??:) says
???? ?????? ?????”? ??? ??? ?????? ????
1) Rav Shlomo Zalman (????? ????, ???? ????? ?”?, ?’ ?”?) says that we follow the doctors of our times over previous generation’s doctors such as the Rambam.
2) The P’nei Yehoshua only says ????.
3) The Pnei Yehoshua is talking about the sugyah of ???? ??? on ??? ???, where the criteria relevant has to do with the REASON the person is doing it and not the actual RESULT.
This is why the Pnei Yehoshua says ???? ?????? ?????”? ??? ??? ?????? ???? which has nothing to do with the actual effect.
4) Did you ever here of ???? ??????? Every single one of today’s Gedolei Haposkim, without fail, assume the veracity of the dangers of smoking if you read in their seforim!
