Your daughters are wonderful, and they deserve to marry a wonderful boy who is a non-smoker.

I agree with your statement about a smoker not being welcome in my home (as per my OP).

I’m not arguing that its assur and should stop (also as per my OP).

You answered the question posed: you would rather your daughters stay single forever than have them marry a smoker. I agree for myself (for the most part), but understand why others would argue.

Therefore, someone in that situation should at the very least consider it. The answer may still be no, but they may say yes, and who are we to judge or tell them what their decision should be? Shouldn’t they at the very least keep their options open?

P.S. Sad as it may be, but a woman with a family history of Yena Machla has similar issues. Would your answer be the same or since its not their fault (and they don’t smell) the answer would be different?
