Hello all,
I'm having a very hard time trying to quit smoking. My several attempts to quit all failed within a few days or a fortnights time. As a person born into an OO family, I'm also struggling with my faith and having doubts, after having gone through a very tough situation in life that made me question God's existence for a brief while. I find solace in reading the Psalms and reading articles on the Jewish Aish -ha Torah website. I do not doubt the existence of a Creator. But i do not have a complete belief system at present.
I would like to know what is the Orthodox perspective on smoking and would appreciate any advice that helps me quit. I request your kindness and prayers for my weak self.
