Almighty
Allah says in the Noble Qur'an, “And do not kill yourselves.”
(An- Nisaa’: 29). The Prophet Muhammed (peace and blessings be upon him) is
also reported to have said, “Whomsoever drinks poison, thereby killing
himself, will sip this poison forever in the Hell-Fire.”
The poisonous effects of cigarette smoking on our health are well-known
and well documented.Smoking,
however, has another, less palpable effect on the lives of the families of
smokers.With more than 75% of
tobacco users living in developing countries, smoking depletes the already
limited financial resources of families that are striving to make ends meet.
This year's World No Tobacco Day focuses on
this inseparable relationship between smoking and poverty.
