Question
Why is smoking prohibited on Yom Tov? Even though it is not for everyone, lighting a fire is permitted if there is some need (Tosafot). If possible, please provide an answer with sources. Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello,
This is exactly what is mentioned in the Gemara, that even though 'mitoch' is said, there is still no permission for something that is not for everyone.
See sources.
