Anything that is unjurious to yourself, is haraam. (looks at ciggy pack nervously) keep me in your duas, I need to kick a habit of a lifetime.

Very true. I will keep you in my duas. Bro, I will suggest you to try the 30/60 day trial. It is very effective. Stop smoking for 30-60 days and you will stop for a lifetime. It is easier said than done, but with Allah everything is possible.
regular consumption of coke throws your blood sugar out of whack, obesity, insulin insensitivity, heart disease, retinopathy, neuropathy, and all that. why would you want to make your life hell? That being said, I do drink coke zero. Aspartame has been shown to increase retinal detachment rates in rats, but no studies in humans.
Help me to escape from this existence
I yearn for an answer... can you help me?
I'm drowning in a sea of abused visions and shattered dreams
In somnolent illusion... I'm paralyzed

I dont see anyone here mentioned they drink it regularly. Please Learn try to be more polite brother.
if you accuse someone, then be prepared to expect some stern words.
I did not take anyone's name here. I am sure there are ppl on these forums who do drink coke regularly but they didnt post here and aer totally unaware of the harmful effects of soft drinks. My post was directed at those lurkers. No reason to get personal, really.
Preaching someone something that one himself doesnt act upon is called hypocrisy. I've been very polite with you here, and actually did not even address you at all till you chipped in on my general comment, which was really directed at anyone who drinks regularly and is unaware of the harms.
btw, back to topic. Sugars in soft drinks have sky high glycemic index, which means as soon as you drink them, in few hours, your blood is inundated with sugars and insulin release goes up, and this is bad if you keep on doing this for the next 20 years. My aunt has diabetes and she used to drink soft drinks like crazy.

Since this is my thread I thought you were pointing at me. I apologize for misunderstanding.
if you accuse someone, then be prepared to expect some stern words. and I seriously dont believe in this statement. My Prophet (pbuh) never approached people like that, so I will never do it. I do apologize for misunderstanding you.
The thread is in General section, not in Advice section, so I thought it was a general thread. Apologies accepted.
I am not Prophet pbuh, and can never be. All of us have flaws and good.

He was a role model for us, an example for us to follow. So, we should follow him as much as possible. I try my best. anyway, I dont want any argument with a Muslim brother. Sorry for overreacting.
