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

Yup, Health, Chesed. Because when Rabonim in the Kashrus business get up in the morning, and think about how to apply their expertise for the benefit of klal yisroel (Assuming that this hechsher isn’t about making a buck) they immediately think about how they can do so while permitting people to shorten their own lives, put an increased burden on the health care system (and hence on everyone paying for it through taxes) and make it increasingly unlikely that they will be around to play with their grandchildren, chas vesholom. Yup, sounds like the thought process of reasonable, rational, rabonim.

Seriously?
