The ruling for smoking while fasting

Question

What is the ruling for smoking while fasting?

Answer

Smoking, in addition to being an offensive habit and a prohibited act that is hazardous to health, breaks the fast. A person who smokes while fasting is obliged to make up the fast since smoke reaches the chest through the nasal cavity, and therefore definitely reaches a body cavity.

And God Almighty knows best.
