I would probably say that rabbonim are not infallible, sometimes they are not sufficiently up-to-date in certain areas, and they are subject to the same taivas as we all are. Unfortunately, as a result, they may sometimes be nichshal. That does not take away from their deserving to be respected, but a loving family member or respected peer should set them straight.
that is of your opinion when you ask them they will say its not a good idea to smoke but it ain’t assur

What’s the Purim Heter? #671246AGUGParticipantwhether i smoke or not is irrelevant (although im a non smoker) lets work this out objectively without involving our personal lives . in response to the request for names of gedolim that permit smoking for obvious reasons i will not post their names although just take a look out there do some research and youll find that many rosh yesheiva rabbanim that are well respected among our comunitty smoke. what do you say to that?
secondly granted to compare obesity to smoking is a poor comparison (btw to say obesity is not as clinically proven to directly cause diseases and is completely not true its been proven to cause more sicknesses than smoking its the leading cause of death related conditions in the world)on many levels but the point im bringing out is that the main reason many people are baffled by the smokers is that they don’t understand the situation fully.

WELL IF ITS YOU THAN IM DEFINITLY ENTILTED TO MY OPINION. IF ITS YOUR RAV HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT THAT MAYBE THERE ARE OTHER RABANIM THAT DONT ASSUR IT? I DONT THINK ANYBODY WILL DISAGREE THAT ITS A TERRIBLE HABIT, BUT HOW ABOUT OBESITY ITS JUST AS BAD MAYBE WORSE WHY DONT I HEAR ANYBODY POSTING ABOUT THAT????? (I THINK I KNOW THE ANSWER CUZ EATING IS SOMTHING EVERBODY!!!! UNDERSTANDS THE DESIRE THEREFORE ITS NOT IRRATIONAL WELL JUST CUZ YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THE DESIRE TO SMOKE DOESNT MAKE IT IRRATIONAL.
please do not use all-caps
