[quote]Assalamu Alaykum,

dear sbeech, I am in the same situation as you are. How it goes for you?

I had been smoking for 21 years. Since the beginning of Ramadan, I of course do not smoke from fajr to maghrib. Other than that, on the first day of Ramadan I was eager to smoke after maghrib salaat. But after 4 - 5 puffs of smoke I felt so bad. For a number of reasons. First, I felt crummy, dizzy. Second, I felt like the cigarette makes me &quot;dirty&quot;; I smelled the stink of the smoke which I was unable to smell ever since I started to smoke. Third, I felt like as if my fasting was about to be rendered futile by my cigarette even though time of sawn was already over for the day (by the way, please comment if this is the case or not). So I put out my cigarette.

However, unfortunately, cigarette is a very addictive habit. It is a very powerful tool of satan, because it implements its harmful effects very slowly. One will not realize how dangerous it is until its too late. One thing about it is, like most smokers will tell you, that the longing for smoke will be the most unbearable after a meal. This is what I am fighting now. I smoke 1 or maximum 2 puffs (not cigarettes, just puffs) after my meal after maghrib.

Brothers and sisters please make dua for all the members of the umma, who, like me and sbeech, are having this nasty habit, to realize how bad it is and to be able to give it up all together with.

Jazakallah khair.

Ramadan mubarak!
