justsaying001 -“dear health,
just curious if ur not intrested in asking a posek, who is qualified to make an accurate psak based on comparisons to other precendents found in halacha, whyd u even bother comparing it to smoking urself maybe just do what u want based on what u feel the hagdara of safek pikuach nefashos should be?”
I understand. But IMHO, the only one capable in the US to answer such a Shaila is R’ Dovid Feinstein.
The last time I asked him a Shaila, I actually had to go to the East Side, he didn’t answer phone calls.
So until I get to him, I have to rely on my own knowlege.
But my question to you & others, how do you rely on your local Poisek for things Life & Death?!?
