Is smoking a nullifier of the ablution?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is smoking a nullifier of the wudu'? The smoke that is intended to be tobacco.

Answer:
And what some people do, which is consuming this foul substance and introducing it into their cavities and organs, is a ugly habit. Smoke is forbidden (muharram) because of the apparent and hidden harms that doctors have established and whose effects have become publicly evident on smokers. Therefore, consuming smoke is forbidden (haram) because it is foul, because it is harmful, and because it is a means of spending money without benefit. However, the one who uses it and smokes it is a sinner and commits a sin, but it does not nullify the wudu'. This is because the nullifiers of wudu' are known and defined, and smoking is not among them. Not every sin nullifies the wudu'. Smoking is a sin and forbidden, and it carries sin, but it does not nullify the wudu'. Yes.
