Islam Concepts

After a long hard thoughts, arguments, proofs and lot more in part 1 of “Is Smoking Haram or Halal in Islam”. Here is the part 2 of that episode.

We found the result from part 1 that smoking is haram so we don’t need to say more on that. In this part I will cover little advance topics like “if cigarette smoking is haram and everyone knows that, then why not any of the Muslim country ban that?” and “causes why people start smoking cigarette” and few more important points that everyone wants to know.

Causes why people start smoking cigarette:

Most people start smoking from their young life, especially in between 17-20 years. Start because they get a feeling of “grown up”. They started to test things up. They have this thing in their mind that this is just for checking, I will quit after testing but that thing continues and continues until they became chain smokers.

Second reason is, most of them start smoking in just enjoyment with their friends (as I get started), such as, If one of the friend smoke and he told to others that look, it is too cool, there is nothing wrong with it, just try once and that sort of things. I started with my friends, we have a  group of few friends, we were in college and saw 80% students smoke. One day we think that we need to test that. So we tested and found a result that it is totally an immoral activity, but after that we regularly smoke on the name of “thrill”. We were doing thrill. The most surprise thing is we all friends smoke first time in life. Back to the point, so I want to say is many people start cigarette smoking as a thrill and to show off that they are now grown up.

Another reason people start smoking cigarette is because they saw someone smoke when he depress. That type of person have the feeling that cigarette smoking can release tensions from his head, so when any tension arises, he used to of smoking cigarette but truly speaking, there is nothing like that. atleast not in my case. You are just imagining that yes, you smoked now there is no tension or yes, tension releases just because of smoking. But actually it releases because you think that it releases. It releases because your mind feels that it release.

When first time you smoke cigarette, there is very bad feeling but as you will smoke few more days, you will adjust with that flavor. Actually these smokers develop a level of tolerance and their bodies adjust with nicotine. When you addicted, if that certain level of nicotine not maintained in your blood, you will experience uncomfortable physical-psychological dependence problems. These uncomfortable feelings are classic drug withdrawal symptoms. Addictive drugs are psychoactive which create brain and nervous system dependence and lead to compulsive use. Abrupt discontinuation leads to physiological and psychological distress. The withdrawal symptoms are headache, stomach discomfort, nervousness, irritability, sweating, change in heart and blood pressure and lower excretion of some hormones affecting the nervous system.

If Cigarette Smoking Is Haram Then Why Not Any Of The Muslim Country Banned That?

As you know that the leaders of Muslim’s countries are in a deep sleep so they simply not care about these facts. They need these things for their own use and something like that. Another thing is cigarette market make a reasonable money for each and every country finance. Those cigarette companies pays a heavy tax to the governments. So why/how they ban them.

Muslim countries representatives need to understand that it is really important for them to ban these companies and ban all types of smoke addicted things if they want their sons to live a happy charming life, not life like an Ash-tray. So we expect from all the Muslim’s representatives to ban all that sort of things and save growing children’s future.
