There is a tried and tested method to quit vaping and smoking:
Smoking/vaping has two aspects:
1. The hand going to the mouth
2. Inhaling and exhaling
The actual pleasure (false of course) is in the inhaling and exhaling so if you serious of quiting then replace the two above with nuts or dates or something pure to eat so by this you replace the hand to mouth movement and instead of inhaling stale smoke, inhale and exhale the fresh air of Allah Ta’alaa and say Allahu Akbar or any Dhikr.
Quran – Surah No. 13 الرعدAyah No. 28
أَعُوذُ بِاللّٰهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
ؕ اَلَا بِذِكۡرِ اللّٰهِ تَطۡمَئِنُّ الۡقُلُوۡبُ (28)
Translation: Listen, the hearts find peace only with the remembrance of Allah.”
The ruling on smoking/vaping is it is Haraam. Allah Ta’alaa gave you a fresh healthy body and you put smoke in to damage it? This then affects your stamina when worshipping Allah Ta’alaa. This is the objective of why you were created. Anything to damage that objective is ingratitude for this wonderful and amazing irreplaceable body Allah Ta’alaa has blessed you with.
More so how could a Muslim intentionally contribute to the killing of another human and more so another Muslim just all in the name of profits? Whether you are selling in a cafe or producing or peddling, you are all involved in assisting Haraam!
Woe be to the sellers, woe be to the consumers and woe be to the producers. Now ask who are the leading organisations in all this? It cannot be wiped and swept under the carpet just because they claim to be Muslims and sponsoring so much of Deeni work. What is Haraam will remain Haraam no matter who tried to legalize it. Does the box not say, “smoking can kill you”. So how can one sleep peacefully knowing their business is to gradually kill others?
Allah Ta’alaa says:
Do not help each other in sin and aggression. And fear Allah. Surely, Allah is severe at punishment.
Suratul Maaidah, end of verse 2
