Reply To: Smoking in Shidduchim

Wow, I really opened up a can of worms!!! (that was fun 🙂 )

My personal opinion is (now, no one take offense to this) if someone is smoking (unless they grew up where everyone in their world is smoking) that they know that there are serious dangers – everyone knows that these days. So, why would a boy (or anyone) be smoking?

So, I’ve been told because of peer pressure. So, he doesn’t have the ability to stand up to what he believes? If someone would jump off a roof, would you too? Smoking is much more expensive, more harmful and a more painful way of dying!

Ok, now once he started he can’t stop – what happened to controlling your Taava? (please, don’t start with how people who are overwieght have the same thing – many times its genetic and they were brought up that way – and thats not what I am talking about anyway!)

I’m just trying to understand it! Thanks!
