What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Zamir Cohen’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

a person who wants to start observing Shabbat and stop smoking on Shabbat though he says I can't I'm not able to I have to smoke first of all the rule in such a situation is to start observing a full Shabbat except for smoking if his only difficulty is smoking he should not drive turn on lights or use his phone rather he should start observing a full Shabbat except for smoking then he should gradually reduce smoking every Shabbat a little less than what he is used to until he eventually achieves full Shabbat observance but if we would ask a person who says that he can't stop smoking so you say that you can't stop on Shabbat because you smoke every day though on yum kipur would you ever smoke usually the response will be in total shock me on yum kipur God forbid I don't smoke on yum kipur the big question is what's the difference between yum kipur and Shabbat if you can't do it on Shabbat why can you do it on yum kipur
