Reply To: SMOKING – why should it be MUTTAR?

Gavra_at_work “yekke2: My response got blocked, but I will summarize.”

I can understand why your response got blocked. I am not Chas VeShalom suggesting to forget about the Pnei Yehoshua – the poster ‘Health’ already explained to you why they are not connected. But you seem to be suggesting that the Pnei Yehoshua must have gained his knowledge from Torah – i agree with that – but R’ Moshe Feinstein, R’ Elyashiv, R’ Chaim Kanievsky, The Chofetz Chaim and the rest of the Choshuve (see Zvei Dinim’s post for full list) all ALSO got their knowledge from Torah.

And besides, Yochid VeRabim Halocho KeRabim!!!
