Question:As long as every packet of cigarettes is written on it, "smoking is dangerous and harmful to health", and since the entire medical field admits its harmfulness to health, isn't this sufficient to prohibit cigarettes?

Answer:In the name of Allah, we have said our word long time ago, and it sums up as the following: If a person has become accustomed to smoking and forbidden by specialist doctors, he must quit and if doctors do not prevent him, he may continue. As for the non-accustomed person, it is not permissible for him to become accustomed. The writing on the boxes alone is not sufficient to prove the legal ruling. Allah knows best.
