Question

Is it forbidden to sell cigarettes or to distribute cigarettes to young men at a "santukha" (a kind of celebration that the groom’s friends make when he becomes engaged)?

Answer

Shalom u’vracha 

It is permitted to sell, because there are other places where they can be bought. 

It is permitted to distribute individual cigarettes, since in single cigarettes there is no harm.
