After Smoking Ablution

beautifulsubmission —

I am a convert and was wondering before prayer after I've smoked do I need ghusl or wudu? I haven't been able to find an answer.

The answer is 42... lol

Smoking does not affect the validity of ones wudu. So aslong as you dont do anything else that would normally break it. You're golden.

There are specific ways in which you break your wudu and specific actions that require you to have a ghusl - as long as you dont break them, you're fine.

So, neither is needed. Maybe mouthwash and some itr to get rid of the smell would be appreciated, but that would not be a requirement.
