Reply To: SMOKING – why should it be MUTTAR?

I instigated the thread, and i still hold that smoking is both crazy and assur. But still – im gonna have to side with those who say that a Yid’s body is different to a Goy’s – although unless there is proof of that, there is no heter. The Chazon Ish would show doctors how to do operations, and when a doctor came to him about two people with the same problem, the Chazon Ish suggested two different operations. The docrtor asked him why and he answered that one is a Jew one isn’t. Different bodies.

Nonetheless, the doctors have not differentiated yet between Jews and Non-Jews, and the heter of Shomer PEsoim Hashem definitelly not apply.
