Well, here is what I know:

Pork: Strictly off limits, you can't get around this one at all. If you eat it there is a cleansing ritual you have to go through.

The other vices are a no no, but I think some muslims break these from time to time. Depends on where you are and who you are with.

Lol this is the best I could do

I'll speak for myself. The hardest part about giving up pork is so many of my favorite foods had pork fillings in it. I didn't know Salsibury Steak, meatballs, and some other things I liked had pork mixed in it.

Yep, I think pork is the only constant you can't break, no matter where you are. That's the cool thing about Malaysia, everything is halal so I could get my eat on and not worry about it since they have let you know what's what. They sell pork in the Chinese and other stores, so they get along in that respect.

Pork: Stopped eating it when I converted, but I will admit that when I travelled back to STL and the McRib came back out, I was tempted, but I resisted(talk about hurt)

Smoking and Drinking: I come from a long line of drug addicts and alcoholics, every man in my family on both sides struggles with one or both. So I don't drink or smoke anyway. I think this is why my wife was so interested when we first met, she said you're basically a muslim, just have to get rid of the pork eating. Didn't take too much convincing.

I forgot gambling, also a no-no. But when the powerball got up there, we broke down and got tickets
