The fact that this is haram is not really the issue because even if it harms the body,manufacturers will still produce these products due to the addictive nature they have in regards with profit. In other words, they don't fear that you will die by purchasing their cigarettes, they fear that they will not have money to live off of had they not produced these, which essentially turns into an addiction. That is why manufacturers produce these harmfuls. The fact that they have surgeon generals warning on the back of the labels just protect them from future lawsuits.
Buying such a thing just means that you are choosing to live a shorter life than the life allah has given to you. Although the mindset of these smokers aren't that of the previous comment i just made, their mindset is on ' ok, i need to be relaxed, i need a stimulator.' Honestly, I don't think smokers if any, smoke for the taste of it, they smoke as a source of stress relieving. I mean in the 'mental stability' I guess it's ok for them to do so, but in regards to religion and THEIR surroundings, it's not right.
My point in this post is just to say that, smoking has goods and bads, and if you are not willing to take in the goods and bads, then you shouldn't post a comment on anything that shows favortism because favortism justifies selfishness and in some cases extremism.
According to islam , what harms the body harms the soul, and nothing but your soul is judged so why harm the body?....In an employment example, why would you snicker around, knowing it'll hurt your body, yet it'll jeopordize your position?....Just another way to look at it.
Some people say me, ali if you say what harms the body harms the soul, why eat such and such, and why do such an such things that'll sooner or later harm the body and eventually harm the soul, but my answer to this question is that, This law, is in the context of the quran which means, this law is a very old and authentic law. This does not mean, don't abide by it, this just means, this law does not take into sense the modern day technologies. For instance, beef and other animals that are slaughtered correctly are considered halal, but now a days there are diseases that spread such like mad cow, stomitis, etc. but the thing is, when this law was written, no such things as anti bacterial soap and what not was around So when they say, other meats than pigs can harm you, why do you still eat it, the simple answer is as follows, animals that are dirty carry diseases in which they are considered their surroundings. This means, more chemicals to actually clean this animal, which means more chemicals in the air, which means a decrease in oxygen and an increase to global warming and pollution.
many reasons, many concerns and questions, it is up to those who are bright enough and take their answers from authentic sources to relay the message .
thank you
