Selling and Distributing Cigarettes
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.
