    Random88 said: yaakov: thats pure kefira and opikorsis. keep it to yourself. The Gedolim never said anything like that in regards to smoking and neither can you. Was the Steipler Gaon not a “talmid chacham, kadosh, or a chasid”? Plenty of Gedolim smoked and some still do.

    Random — You are blinded by your smoking addiction. Stop defending your aveirah. Regarding past Gedolim, they didn’t know the health dangers of smoking like we know today. I am talking about today, not yesterday. I read in an Artscroll bio about – I think it was Yaakov Kamenetsky (please forgive me if I got the wrong Gadol) – that he smoked but the moment he heard it is dangerous to one’s health he quit on the spot and never smoked again.

    Smoking is a digusting dangerous hobby. It’s not a mitzvah and gives no nachas to Hashem. Nobody who smokes can consider themselves either a talmid chacham, kadosh, or a chasid. If you smoke, stop immediately and DO TESHUVA!!!
