All type of intoxicant are banned in Sikhi, but the ban against tobacco is extreme, Sikh have special love for wine, Maharaj ranjit singh was lover of scotch, during brief period of Jaranail Singh Bhidranwala when sikhs were reverting back to their faith, Punjab had/has highest per capita consumption of alcohol. even today in punjab one can easily find desi and angrezi daaru on every road side dhaba. I am sure per capita consumption of drugs would be equally high in punjab.“aevan bhi na dope shope marya karo:D”
Tobacco surpisingly had always been prohibited culturally in Sikhi.
In punda society it is said if your daughter in law is Sardarni soon your son would be a drinker, honestly I never minded making a peg or two for my brother or father:D, my favourite is 91 bollinger though:D
Amrithdhari Sikhs which made Khalsa army are not supposed to eat even non veg food let alone intoxicant, and people outside amrithadhari system do all sort of things:)

Any particular reason for disliking of tobacco by Sikh gurus that made this widely used item of the area, forbidden for Sikhs? I think Parsi people also don’t smoke, but its somewhat related to sacredness of fire.
