LUNGS CANCER:

The other major respiratory disease that smoking causes is lung cancer .New evidence has identified an important gene - p53, found in the nucleus of every cell. Its main role is to clean up any errors or changes that occur within copied cells. This means that any cell with damaged p53 is highly susceptible to cancer. .

19

RISKS OF LUNGS CANCER:

The risk of developing lungs cancer is related to both ,how long and how much a person has smoked. For instance, a person who takes up smoking in their teens is five times more likely to die of lung cancer than someone who starts after their mid twenties.

20

ASTHMA:When someone smokes, he may cough, wheeze, and feel short of breath. This is because smoke irritates the airways, causing them to become swollen, narrow, and filled with sticky substance. These are the same things that happen during an asthma flare-up. That's why smoking can cause asthma flare-ups .Those flare-ups may be more severe and harder to control, even with medicine.

21

OTHER CANCERS OF RESPIRATORY SYSTEM:

Smoking is a major cause of cancers of the oral cavity, oesophagus and larynx. The use of alcohol in combination with smoking greatly increases smokers' risk for these cancers.

26

VERSES Allah says: « And do not kill yourselves;

indeed, Allah is ever Merciful to you. »

(4, 29) He also says: « And do not be cast into

ruin by your own hands …» (2, 195) Allah says: ...But spend not wastefully

(your wealth) in the manner of a spendthrift, Verily, spendthrifts are brothers of the devils, and the Devil (Satan) is ever ungrateful to his Lord..>> (Quran 17/26-27)

27

ISLAMIC POINT OF VIEW

As an application of this principle, if it is proved that the use of tobacco is injurious to health; It is prohibited in Islam, especially for a person whose physician has advised him to stop smoking. Even if it is not injurious to health, it is still a waste of money, spent neither for religious nor for secular benefit, and the Prophet (peace be on him) forbade the wasting of wealth.

SO, ISLAM doesn’t allow any one to smoke..!!
