[Avodah] The Halachic Prohibition Against Smoking

[Yitzchok Levine]

In response to my recent email about Kiddush clubs 
(http://www.thejewishweek.com/viewArticle/c55_a16075/Editorial__Opinion/Opinion.html 
) someone wrote to me asking, "What do you have on smoking?"  I did 
an Internet search and came up with the links below that deal with 
this topic. I quote from the first link,

"Accordingly, this analysis must lead to the unambiguous conclusion 
that smoking is clearly and unquestionably forbidden by halacha and 
that this should be made known to all who care about the Torah and 
their health."
