Hookah Tobacco for Passover

Question

Is it permissible to be lenient and consider that hookah tobacco does not require kosher certification for Passover?

Answer

Hello,

Hookah tobacco is treated the same as cigarette tobacco.

The ruling for both is: It is advisable to be stringent and not use without kosher certification, but there is room to rely on those who are lenient and permit without certification.
