tobacco and other drug use
#1
Hello Rabbis and Michael,

Is there any reason why a Noahide should not use tobacco? or to drink to drunkeness and eat gluttonously?

It is easy to say that illegal drugs would violate the seven laws.

But are we Noachides required to follow doctor advice? especially when it comes to mind altering drugs such as alcohol and tobacco?

I read that the Rabbinical Council of America has ruled that to blow smoke in someone's face is equivalent to striking them. So therefore, to take a "hit" off a cigarette would be like striking yourself.

I would love to hear that tobacco is forbidden, then I really would quit. Same with getting drunk.

God bless and happy new year,

Brian D. Schuh
