Wasn’t mention overuse. Mentioned one time use.

My doctor, neurologist and further specialties, also a former NIH researcher, actually told me that I can take it for muscle pain, and trouble sleeping on occasion.

I did not castigate Jewish parents for allowing older children to sip kiddush wine. They were talking about giving children alcohol on Purim. Close to drunk but not officially drunk.

Anyway. Say what you like. Don’t need to explain when words are twisted.

Thanks for the opportunity still

Any dirty tissues left on the shul tables on Shabbos will be collected, and after Shabbos they will be quantified.

The owners of the discarded tissues must give a certain amount of tzedakah per tissue.

Anyone who attempts tissue tax evasion will receive a visit from the beis din.

You’re going from not being a top bochur, so maybe second place, to now saying that you’re being treated like an outcast.

Dunno what to tell you… hearing you though.

I’m a BT and dated someone who smoked cigarettes and did a plethora of other things, dropped out of yeshiva and then some, and then returned. Obviously I’m not one of those top girls and don’t come from one of those families.

And this person’s mother had a ton to say about me and why I’m not good enough. It hurts. I get it. She didn’t know me. She Googled her worst nightmares. But at the end of the day, someone’s mom is going to be someone else’s mother-in-law.

If this mother wants the top bochur and is turning away your friend, is her relationship with her future son-in-law conditional on whatever impression she has of him?

We marry a person but their family affects us.

Maybe reframe the way that you see this. What’s good about the situation for you and your friend? There must be a lesson in here. Maybe a redirection?

Btw… It’s not necessarily fair I know. I know a really really really super amazing father person human husband worker who smokes and has smoked for years.

There are more people who smoke and your friend may be a truly top bochur.

That’s the point. It’s an addiction.

About the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory…

He said that the opinion of the Torah in general is that the person should be the master over his or her self, and enslavement of any sort is wrong.

Can a person still be the master over himself when involved with drugs and other addictive substances? (Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz)

Does he take smoke breaks? Does smoking count as bittul Torah?

If he is a top boy… and smokes, then is he a master over his inclinations in ultimate service of Hashem or is he a slave to his inclinations despite Hashem or something else… ?

There are people who also do whatever they want and may be a like-minded fit for you.

Bochur 2.0: WARNING… This is going to come across as harsh or just blunt.

Here’s the situation from my perspective:

Being a smoker or ex-smoker can be a deal breaker for some girls.

In these situations, it doesn’t matter to the girl if he’s a top boy because he’s out of the picture if he smokes or used to smoke.

(And I am guessing that he is in his 20’s and may not have a decade or so of smoke-free sobriety so even if he stopped a couple years ago, that might not be enough… for all they know, he could have just done it for shidduchim. Some guys start smoking again after marriage. Etc.)

That’s an excellent question RebYidd23.

I would take a Benadryl because it makes you a bit drowsy and is mild. 25mg to start. Maybe 50mg.

Alcohol would impair your functioning ~ but that’s your call.

Glad that you’re okay now 🙂

Do I really need to explain? Obviously not. I don’t have to defend myself for believing something was a real thing. At least I am open-minded and can imagine it being a real thing.

I lived in a very vegan world before too… so it’s pretty normal to hear of healthy and yet odd food combinations.

Note to women and men who dress tzniusly or Jewishly, if a regular secular-looking person is staring at you, it may be because he or she is growing and admires your outfit and is taking mental notes.

I apologize for being weird in parking lots and grocery stores. Half the time I want to tell you that I am Jewish too and Omgosh I love your kippa/dress/shoes/skirt/sleeves! And ask if you also go to X shul… But that’s weird. So I don’t and prob make you feel weirder. You are not weird.

My next wonder is if he thought I was wearing a sheitel (which would be a mega compliment, generally, because most sheitels are so pretty and have way more volume than my hair… unless he thought I was wearing a modest sheitel and then it would be neutral and maybe still flattering).

He was maybe 10-15 feet away. I don’t think he saw my hands.

Guessing he felt some strong pull towards Yiddishkeit since he was so vocal about it. Maybe I can pray for him this Shabbos. Who knows. I want to.
