We all know how harmful effects do cigarettes have on our health. So, the scholars have unanimously stated its prohibition.
What is in the cigarette smoke? (Source: Cancer Research UK) More than 4,000 toxic chemicals are found in the cigarette smoke! Some of these are:
Nicotine – the drug that makes cigarette addictive. Carbon monoxide – a gas that quickly enters the bloodstream, lowering oxygen supply and contributing to heart disease. Tar – the black particles in tobacco smoke. Formaldehyde – used to preserve dead bodies! Nitrosamines – a group of chemicals used in pesticides! Benzopyrene – a substance used to preserve wood!
Shocking Facts! (Source: World Health Organization) Tobacco kills 1 jumbo jet full of people per hour everyday worldwide. Tobacco usage causes cancer of lung, liver and oral, heart diseases, narrowing of blood vessels etc. Therefore, it can also be regarded as a mean of committing suicide.
Benefits Of Quitting Smoking: · Your lungs won't look like burnt BBQ beef and you'll be able to taste and smell food again. · You save yourself the embarrassment of having bad breath. · You'll cough less and your teeth will be much whiter. · Last, but not the least, you’ll earn God’s special blessings for giving up what is prohibited by doing repentance and never returning to smoking again,
