IS SMOKING BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH?
DAF HASHAVUA
SHABBOS 86B
IS SMOKING BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH?
עכו"ם דלא דאיגי במצות- דאכלן
שקצים ורמשים
The Gemoro asks
if the human physiology between an עכו"ם and a Yid are the same or
they might be different. The Gemoro remains with the question and has no
answer.
The Chasam Sofer* writes that since the Gemoro has no conclusion,
therefore we must assume that the science of medicine is inconclusive for
Yidden since it is all based on bodies of Goyim which might be different
than bodies of Yidden.
We may eat on Yom Kippur based on a doctors advice not because his advice
is true but because of ספק פיקוח נפש and that's enough to be מתיר
איסורים.
According to this Chasam Sofer,
SMOKING IS BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH is incorrect
SMOKING MIGHT BE BAD FOR YOUR
HEALTH is correct (only ספק)
ע"ז ל"א*
