If you ask any smoker why he smokes, you would receive many different answers. Some people smoke when they need relief from depression; others smoke to ease the stress of estrangement from their families. Some people smoke with friends to have fun, while others smoke to rid themselves of worry and anger. There are those that smoke to imitate those whom they admire, or perhaps they smoke because they have been doing it from a young age and cannot stop. You will even find those who say, ?I smoke because it is useful, and I do not believe it is prohibited.?

These are generally the excuses smokers give, and based on this, allow me, my dear beloved smoking brothers, to discuss this issue with you for a short while, and perhaps we will come to a satisfying conclusion.

Beloved brother! Are you not convinced that smoking is prohibited and that it has a very bad impact? Don?t you ever think seriously to permanently give it up? You would possibly say, ?Yes, but I want to become more convinced that it is harmful so that I can give it up.? I would say to you, please lend me your ear and listen with your heart to what I am about to say.
