2. Smoking a hookah, cigar, cigarette, etc., also breaks the fast, even if one thinks that the smoke did not reach the throat.

3. Chewing paan or tobacco alone also breaks the fast, even if one repeatedly spits, because fine particles do reach the throat.

4. Placing sugar or similar items in the mouth that dissolve, and then swallowing the saliva, breaks the fast.

7. If the blood is equal to or more than the saliva, the fast breaks.

8. If it is less than the saliva but its taste is felt in the throat, the fast breaks.
