Reply To: Kosher L'Pesach Cigarettes: Is Something Wrong With This?

zvei dinim -“Rav Elyashiv, Rav Moshe Shternbuch, Rav Nisim Karelitz and Rav Yisroel Belsky and many others hold that cigarettes are Asur on Pesach. In the Litvishe Velt (at least in E.Y.) almost no one smokes Pesach.”

I didn’t know that. Why do they Assur on Pesach – because of Chometz or because it’s Yom Tov? Do they Assur also all the time?

So Yichusdik is wrong. This Rabbi is doing the smokers a Chessed because he is helping them Not to do added Issurim.
