Editing Kashrut (section)

===Tobacco===
{{main|Smoking in Jewish law}}
Although it is not a food product, some [[tobacco]] receives a year-long kosher for Passover certification. This year-long certification means that the tobacco is certified also for [[Passover]] where different restrictions may be in place. Tobacco may, for example, come into contact with some {{transliteration|he|[[chametz]]}} grains that are strictly forbidden during Passover and the certification is a guarantee that it is free from this type of contamination.

In Israel, this certification is given by a private {{transliteration|he|kashrut}} rabbinic group [[Badatz Beit Yosef|Beit Yosef]], but the Chief Rabbinate has objected to granting of any certification by rabbis because of health risks from tobacco.<ref name="tabak">{{cite web|url=https://www.timesofisrael.com/israelis-get-kosher-cigarettes-for-passover/ |title=Rabbis fired up over kosher cigarettes for Passover | date=2013-03-25 |work=[[Times of Israel]]}}</ref>
