Many contemporary Torah-sages hold there is no explicit, blanket prohibition. However, as far back as the Chafetz Chaim (1930s) and the Chazon Ish, the Rabbis have stressed the fact that smoking harms one's health, which goes against a Torah-precept. For just one example, the great Torah-authority, Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, wrote: "it is appropriate for every person, especially Bnai Torah, not to smoke, since it presents a potential danger to life and has no redeeming value."On the Sabbath, smoking is not permitted in any case.
