Smoking In Jewish Law
Halakha, is the Jewish legal-literature that applies to tobacco and cigarette smoking from the early modern period to the present day. Halakha addresses three main topics: The regulation of smoking on days of special Jewish significance, the debate over prohibition of smoking, per se, with regard to individual Jews and the general environmental concerns (e.g. second-hand smoking).
