Reply To: SMOKING – why should it be MUTTAR?

My Uncle, a fine frum Yid, died painfully, suffering with emphysema contracted after years of smoking. Don’t tell me irrelevant misdirected arguments about the teva changing. Who cares? You deal with the teva NOW, and the teva now is to get quite ill, possibly die, and take others with you as collateral damage from their exposure to your second-hand smoke. Plus, smokers STINK (and don’t know it, because they are used to their own stench, their fingers and teeth are nicotine-stained, and they tend to be very self-absorbed (who couldn’t be when they believe in their RIGHT to smoke and no concerns with anyone else’s right to breathe?).
