Can I smoke during fasting?

We do not recommend using any stimulants including cigarettes, alcohol, and coffee. Fasting is a process of removing the toxins from our body that are often directly contributed by these stimulants. 

Imagine this. The first chance your body gets to rest and heal, it says: “Thank you for giving me a chance to let go of these impurities.” 

If we push these substances back into our body, it only interferes with the fasting process and makes your body protest further. 

Whether it is tea, coffee, alcohol or a cigarette, we should learn to live consciously. You should do what you do from your own choice, and not by the compulsion of some object or food.
