Q: Assuming one is addicted to smoking cigarettes and must smoke a few a day,
may he/she fast and will such a fast be deemed valid?
A: Obligatory caution dictates that the fasting person ought to refrain from the
smoke of tobacco products; assuming it is necessary to smoke [i.e. due to
addiction], this does not absolve one from the obligatory duty to fast.
