Sam2-
I didn’t think it was a kal vachomer. I was just making a tzu-shtel. And I’m curious what your upshlug is.

Yes, I b’davka said this mitzva, as that raya would not apply to sitting in the sukka. B’pashtus.
As for smoking, do you know of a posek who actually says klohr that it’s like drinking? I happened to have just gone through the sugya and came out not like that. I know the Mishna Brura says to refrain on fast days but I was under the impression that he wasn’t talking me’ikkar hadin altz drinking but rather that it’s excessive pleasure.
