The Reason for Prohibiting Smoking for the Fasting Person

Question
Why is smoking prohibited for the fasting person knowing that it is neither food, drink, nor medicine?
Answer

I say, and with God's help: Smoking is forbidden, and one must atone for it if he consumes it intentionally; because it is a substance that enters the body, and it is consumed with desire and longing, and God knows best.
