The Shabbat itself is the same. The only difference is how much of its laws and customs you're willing to observe.Orthodox Jews believe that the Torah must be fully observed (Deuteronomy 13:5). They keep the laws of Judaism as codified in the Shulchan Arukh (Code of Jewish Law), which lists the laws of the Torah and Talmud.This means that the Shabbat is kept in full, period.Other Jewish groups (Conservative, Reform) adapt, curtail or change the Torah-laws in contemporary life, to a greater or lesser degree, meaning that many of them permit themselves to drive on Shabbat, to turn electric appliances on and off, and so on.See also:More about the ShabbatTypes of JewsWhat is life like for religious Jews
Do Orthodox Jews smoke on Shabbat?
No. Orthodox Jews will not smoke on Shabbat ... even those who are habitual smokers otherwise. An anecdote concerning a famous European rabbi who hid deep in a cave for several months as Nazism fell over Germany, but whose name escapes me, says that he told how he could keep track of the passing days and weeks back in the cave where no daylight penetrated ... because his desire for cigarettes faded when it was Shabbat. Completely aside from the issue of poisoning and polluting your body that was created in God's image, the act of smoking involves several additional actions that are prohibited in the Torah on Shabbat. A few of them include igniting a fire (Exodus ch.35), transferring the fire from an object that's already burning to one that isn't, and 'muktsa' (handling objects that you routinely handle on weekdays, and in the same way that you handle them on weekdays). These principles are well known to most Orthodox smokers, and they take them seriously.
