Question

Short note about evil of smoking

Answer 1

Since the first discovery of tobacco was made in America in the fifteenth century, the aepidemic of smoking has spread continuously around the world. As early as the Seventeenth Century, the European countries realised the dangers of smoking and hastened to ordain Laws in England and various other countries to prohibiting smoking. The Western countries, even today, continue their attempts in combating smoking. They employ means of media, pass legislation and apply multiple methods to discourage people from smoking. 

Smoking has, to an extent, become the rule and abstaining from it the exception. Often, people look down with astonishment and contempt at a person who when a cigarette is offered to him, declines explaining that he does not smoke. Offering cigarettes to guests has become a matter of hospitality! 

Furthermore, those who pretend to represent the Deen are among the worst addicts. When they are reproached or reprimanded of their vice, they respond by providing weak excuses to justify it. They slyly remark that there is no clear text prohibiting smoking. Whereby they conclude that smoking is not prohibited, but is only makruh (disliked). In this manner they provide a poor excuse for the ignorant and establish a bad example for others. 

Answer 2

It is a free addictive gift one should not take ,give , or receive... people smoke because of many reasons like anxiety or depression or under any kind of stress . It’s most easy prey are children who get addicted to it . Children also take up these drugs just because of peer pressure to show their macho image and that it is in vogue .
We should discourage these addictions so that are youth does not become beasts of prey as they the torchbearers for a better tomorrow.
