Nu, kapusta, would you still describe it as an oxymoron to say that Wolf’s mother was both a nice person and a smoker? And, Syag, would you still compare Wolf’s mom, who smoked, to a girl in tight clothes?
Please, do me a favor. I did not mean to bring my mother into this to become an object of argument. I simply wanted to bring the OP to the realization that smoking is not “off the derech” and that a person’s life, in totality, needs to be considered. It was to bring the OP to that realization that I brought her up — not for any other.
I would take it as a kindness if you not use her as a point in an argument.
Thank you.
The Wolf
