Is expiation (kaffarah) obligatory, or only making up the missed days (qada'), for someone who broke their fast on several days in Ramadan due to severe addiction to smoking, believing they were ill and that the concession for the sick applied to them?
You are required to make up for the days you missed fasting due to smoking. Expiation is not required of you unless sexual intercourse occurred during the daytime in Ramadan.
