Confiscated Electronic Cigarette
Question
A group of yeshiva students were sitting in the dining room, and one of them had an electronic cigarette which he offered to anyone who wanted it. Then, when he gave it to another, the supervisor came and confiscated it. It should be noted that the owner himself was also smoking in that forum, indicating his consent. Is he liable?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
The user is exempt.
Because according to most authorities, it is considered 'died due to usage'.
