[b]Did you know there is alcohol in cigarettes, [/b]read on....
There are more than 4,000 ingredients in a cigarette other than tobacco. In fact, the same toxins and chemicals found in tobacco products can also be found in the air around toxic waste dumps. Common additives include yeast,wine, caffeine, beeswax and chocolate. While some of these ingredients and chemicals are safe in foods, they were toxic and some formed into carcinogens, a cancer-causing substance, when heated or burned.

[b]today ulema say smoking is makruh , some say haraam...
but if cigarrettes contain alcohol then its definitely haram-yeah?[/b]
wasalaam
yeah..
cigarettes is a no-no...cant believe some people [size=7][b]hint hint[/b][/size] i know smoke.
Cigarettes do contain some natural ingredients.
When natural ingredients ferment, they produce alcohol.
All fruits do.
Its a chemical reaction. We need some muslims scholars who are also chemists who can give a fatwa on this.
It is not as straight forward as it sounds.
Regarding smoking, it is probably haraam even if it does not contain alcohol.

I've never understood why smoking was Makruh as everyone knows it damages your health.
Just look at the massive "Smoking kills" label on the packet.
Lots of people die from lung cancer and even passive smoking....and it ruins your teeth and stinks up your house.
I too would like some scholars who are experts in chemistry to check this out.
Wasalaam
It's because alot of molvis smoke.
I have heard someone use that as evidence for not declaring them haraam!
I know about 50 years ago, the health risks were relatively unknown. Then the issue was probably decided as makruh or less.
But now we know they are very dangerous. But the current scholars do not have the spine to make an open fatwa.
However a clear fatwa outright banning cigarettes will probably not be effective.
Just like alcohol in the time of the Prophet (saw), we will need the scholars as a group to give progressive fatwa's.
They have already said it is makruh. Next step would be give a fatwa of haraam for non-smokers... then finally total haraam for everyone.

theres a difference of opinion..
some ulama say its haram ...some say its makhruh e tehrimi
i'd go for it being haram,
the smoker is endulging in a slow suicidal act by smoking..
An Aayaat of the Noble Qur'aan states, 'And do not throw yourself into destruction with your own hands.' (Baqarah 195)
In another Aayat, Allah Ta'ala says, 'And do not kill yourselves'. (Nisaa 29).
Salaam
There are good points here, but I think MS hit on the best reason it should be Haraam...[u]Passive smoking kills[/u].
I.e. some innocent person (muslim or not) walking along, trying to get some fresh air is surrounded by you puffing and taking in the same chemicals you do, seriously its not a trivial toxin either, the exhaled air of a person smoking is still deadly.
Gentleness and kindness were never a part of anything except that it made it beautiful, and harshness was never a part of anything except that it made it ugly.

Dad is a heavy smoker. He started at a young age and recently tried to quit...and after a 6month break he started again recently. Old habits are hard to break.
But he never smokes in front of his kids..he knows how much we hate it. And lil sis has asthma so he always smokes in the garden.
It very rude to smoke in front of others. I rate the new smoking bans that are out.
I know it takes a LOT to quit.
I think if it was considered haraam it would make a massive difference...dad justifies his smoking by saying that its only "makruh".
And smoking leads to weed and weed leads to stronger stuff...
Wasalaam
not necessarily
it may do to some..but not most
i know many many who smoke and have not touched weed,
also i know some who started smoking and now smoke weed...
best is not to smoke at all...
Of course most smokers don't move on to weed but some do ...
Obvioulsy those who smoke weed would have tried fags first.
I remember reading in your weed article one guy said that it started of with smoking fags and then he moved on to weed.
Mr Ed is an incompetent Mod
honestly-cant get the staff these days
:twisted:
p.s smoking is a disgusting habit
but u gotta admit its looks macho
the stick i get!!!!!!!!!!
They telling you how it is!

ok... better go where im appreciated then...
Eating too much fatty food leads to heart attacks.
So it is clearly bad for your health to indulge in gratuitous munching.
So, as fatty food is unhealthy, is it haram?
Smoking is not an intoxicant, but can be unhealthy…so is it haram?
There is no consensus of the community on this issue.
true.
Ya ALLAH Madad.
Haq Chaar Yaar
good point.
(the counter IMO would be that even fatty food has a benefit. But for some people cigarettes have the benefit of calming them down...)

any thing in access is bad for u
too much fatty food or salty food or sweet food harms the body
we are not allowed to intentionally harm the body
smoking kills-thats a fact

the govenment is trying to put across the "smoking is NOT sexy" message in the media these days

Being a victim of passive smokin is unfair, i normally get a really sore throat and have problems breathing. Before my bro used to smoke in the living room and i used to sit there and study it was hell but now dad has banned him from smokin in the house.
He's tried givin up but it dont seem to work, i feel sorry for him but its his own fault for getin himself into this mess.
Boy does it take a LOT of self control to quit and annoyingly the short tempers cos of cravings affects everyone.
Does your brother smoke in front of your parents?
