Question
Which cigarettes are permitted to smoke on Passover, and what is the ruling regarding hookah?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
According to Halacha, cigarettes require Passover certification because they may contain chametz extracts [some are lenient, and one should not protest against them].
This year, no cigarette company has Passover certification.
It is unknown what is mixed in hookah tobacco, and it should not be smoked without certification.
