When I was young one of the things that intrigued me in the shtiebels i grew up with was the custom of sniffing snuff… i dont want to go into the health questions involved (unlike smoking there is no damage to the lungs)…i would only like to ask if anyone knows if it is permitted on Passover? Thanks
You can sniff Chometz to your heart’s desire, as long as it belongs to someone else.
to talmud:
Source for this halacha?
Talmud: It’s forbidden to derive any pleasure from chometz on Pesach.
I found this on a website:
The custom amongst many nowadays is to refrain from all smoking of tobacco on Pesach unless it has a hechsher.
NP- It’s in meseches baba mayseh.
What chometz is in tobacco. IIRC the reason people refrain from smoking is because of the chometz glue on the filter/paper. But I could be totally wrong.
Also in mesechtas buba meisah is that jews hold their noses when they walk by mcdonalds. Sheesh.
You can smell chometz. But snuff is considered consumption, so if there were anything chometz about it then we’d have a legitimate shailah. Unfortunately, the world wasn’t created in a way that validates this shailah.
masser zoger- I have never learned Meseches Bava Mayseh, so please enlighten me.
polisha chosid – ???? ????? ??? ??”? ???? ? ?”? ?- ?”?
says even if you bake Matza and Chametz in the same oven (not touching each other), as long as one is wrapped, even though the Matzah aquired taste from the Chametz’s aroma, You can eat the Matzah on Pesach.
Skype- “It’s forbidden to derive any pleasure from chometz on Pesach” – this only applies if it belongs to you. The Svarah (logic) of Achshivei that you mentioned, only applies when the item belongs to you- to transgress on ‘owning Chametz’. (Maharam Shick’s P’sak (judgement) is relevent today regarding make-up, and the like)
This way, if you are walking down the aisle of a shopping mall, and pass by a man wearing very strong Chametzdik’e cologne, and you happen to LOVE cologne, you have no problem on Pesach.
squeak- thanx
If you see someone in the Shop-Rite bakery section with a nose plug, it is either ‘Skype’ or ‘musser zoger’
and nobody else.
