Many Muslims regard smoking as MAKROOH (disliked) by the Shariah but not HARAAM ( forbidden). Whenever advice is given in this regard they choose to ignore it. Though people know the evil effects of smoking, it seems that Shaytaan and their nafs wants them to continue wasting their money and cause harm to their bodies and HEALTH.
Certainly, Cigarettes were not present during the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammed (S.A.W.), however rulings AND GUIDELINES with regards to similar
substances are present in the two Revelations: the Qur’aan and the authentic Sunnah.(hadith).
As a rule, the Qur’aan forbids every thing that is evil. As Allah says:
“”He (the Prophet Muhammed) allows them all that is good and lawful, and prohibits them as unlawful all that is evil.”" {Surah al-Ar’’af (7): 157}
Evil and sin manifests itself in things, deeds, beliefs, persons, foods, drinks, etc. So, If it is proved that smoking is among the evil, this is in itself enough for the Believers to realize that smoking is forbidden, in the light of the above stated verse of Soorah al-Ar’’af.
1. Smoking is a Killer: It causes diseases like lung cancer, tuberculosis andheart diseases (just to mention a few). And we know that Allah forbids us from killing ourselves. As He says:

Allah also says:
Allah also says:
“”And do not throw yourselves into destruction. “” {Surah al-Baqarah (2):195
2. Smoking burns(waste) wealth: And Allah says:
2. Smoking burns(waste) wealth: And Allah says:
“”But spend not wastefully (your wealth) in the manner of a spendthrift. Verily spendthrifts are brothers of the devils.” {Surah al-Israa’’ (17) 26-27}
Do we not see the Muslims who smoke? Those who hold on to every cent , only to burn all of it in cigerettes! ……. Subhaan Allaah, along with their health, waste on top of waste. (Health and money.)
3. Smoking inflicts harm on non-smokers: The Messenger of Allah said: “”There should be neither harming, nor reciprocating harm.”"
