Smoking During Prayer
Question
Is it permitted to smoke during prayer (during Pesukei DeZimra)?
Answer
I don't think there's a formal prohibition, but it definitely seems inappropriate to me.
Discussion on Answer
And what about smoking while reading Karl Popper in the middle of prayer — is that appropriate?
Nice comment 🙂
But I don't agree with the implied criticism.
Instead of smoking while you pray, pray while you smoke.
Some Buddhist sage or other said that somewhere.
