Selon le judaïsme, Fumer et vapoter : Contesté / nuancé.
La loi juive n'interdit pas explicitement le tabagisme, mais le principe de préserver sa santé (chmirat hagouf) le déconseille fortement. De nombreux rabbins contemporains y voient une violation de cette obligation. Certaines communautés hassidiques font l'objet d'interdits rabbiniques.

Judaism approaches smoking through the lens of shmirat haguf (guarding the body) and pikuach nefesh (preserving life). While early rabbinic opinions were mixed when tobacco was new, contemporary poskim (rabbinic authorities) overwhelmingly discourage or prohibit smoking. Rav Moshe Feinstein zt'l initially called it permissible but later revised his stance as medical evidence mounted. Many modern Orthodox rabbis now consider it a violation of 'Be very careful to guard your lives' (Deuteronomy 4:15).

- Jewish: Speak with your rabbi about resources. Remember that preserving health is itself a mitzvah.
- Many free quit-smoking programs exist — ask a healthcare provider or search for one in your area. No faith tradition wants you to suffer alone.
Repentance: Teshuvah
The Talmud teaches that teshuvah was created before the world itself — Hashem believed in your return before you were born. The gates of return are open now.
