Smoking Cigarettes on Passover
Question
What is the issue with smoking cigarettes on Passover, and is there a preference for smoking Dubek over other brands?
Answer
Hello,
The issue is that essences made from chametz are mixed in.
Regarding the matter of smoking a chametz mixture that has become inedible, see the Azmera Leshimcha journal 199, part 2.
This year, the 'Dubek' company was not checked by our teacher, shlita, due to the mixture of Shemitah produce contained therein.
