New study uncovers tobacco industry's attempts to tackle 'threat' of Islam to smoking
Fri 17 April 2015
Researchers have found evidence of attempts by the tobacco industry to reinterpret Islamic teaching to make smoking acceptable to Muslims and to help develop markets in countries with large Muslim populations.
Industry documents studied by a team led by Professor Mark Petticrew from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, show that tobacco companies have perceived Islam as a threat to its attempts to sell more tobacco products in emerging markets in Asia.
They reveal how the industry attempted to frame anti-smoking views in Islamic countries as fundamentalist and fanatical while lawyers helped develop theological arguments in favour of smoking.
According to the study, published in American Journal of Public Health, these findings will help tobacco control advocates to implement culturally appropriate measures to control tobacco use in Islamic countries.
The research team searched the entire Legacy Tobacco Documents Library and analysed 251 documents, dating from the 1970s to 2011, which referred to Islamic views and actions related to tobacco control, and industry actions related to them.
The study found that the tobacco industry perceived Islamic opposition to smoking as a threat to its business from the 1970s onwards. For example, a 1996 British American Tobacco document described the “Islamic threat” as “a real danger to the industry. This is dependent upon the source of the threat, the divisions within Islam and among Moslems and above all the rapidly emerging fundamentalist influence in Islam, as for instance witnessed in Afghanistan, Iran or Algeria...this amounts to us having to prepare to fight a hurricane”.
Tactics used to counter the perceived threat included framing Islamic objections to tobacco use as extremism, monitoring debates on Islam and tobacco, recruitment of Islamic scholars and leaders as consultants to adapt messages and ultimately portray smoking as acceptable. Industry lawyers meanwhile sought to reinterpret the Qu’ran to suit tobacco industry ends.
The study authors make a series of recommendations for tobacco control efforts based on the findings. These include using positive messaging to emphasise the health benefits of non-smoking rather than negative messages of forbidding certain behaviours; countering associations that tobacco use is an expression of freedom, especially among females, with clear health messages and warnings; and promoting shared positions by multi faith communities on the harmful effects of tobacco use on health to shift attention from individual religious beliefs.
Mark Petticrew, Professor of Public Health Evaluation at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, said: “The tobacco industry is rapidly developing its markets in many countries with a large Muslim population, which have a high prevalence of smoking – even though there is a consensus among Muslim scholars that smoking is prohibited by Islam.
“Despite this, our study shows that the tobacco industry has framed anti-smoking views in Islamic countries as fundamentalist and fanatical, and has attempted to recruit Islamic consultants to portray smoking as acceptable.
“Tobacco industry lawyers working for Philip Morris even helped develop theological arguments in favour of smoking. As a former US Food and Drug Agency Commissioner, David Kessler, once said, this really is an industry that thought it could buy almost anybody.”
Co-author Professor Kelley Lee, based at Simon Fraser University, said: "This paper provides further evidence of how the tobacco industry has sought to frame public policy debates in ways that, not only further its commercial interests, but undermine the efforts of public health communities worldwide seeking to reduce the almost six million deaths caused by tobacco use."
The study’s other co-authors were Rima Nakkash (American University, Beirut) and Haider Ali (Open University Business School).
This research was funded in part by the National Cancer Institute, US National Institutes of Health.

Seriously?!
I'm more disgusted by the scholars of the dollars who were acting like Muslims but working with the tobacco companies. And if all this is just for making smoking acceptable, I wonder what else goes on. Must say that I'm not that surprised though.
The real threat to the tobacco industries is healthy lifestyle.
Tell Muslim smokers that smoking is haram. Then they will start giving argument that smoking is not haram. But educate Muslim smokers about the effect of smoking for health, In Shaa Allah they will aware and start stop smoking.
In my place, very very few Muslims who stop smoking because religious reason. Mostly of them stop smoking because health reason, same like non-Muslim smokers who decide to stop smoking.
Cigarette did not exist in the time of salaf, and the haram fatwa for cigarette is a modern time fatwa that issued after ulama got many input from doctors about the effect of smoking for health.
So why tobacco industries blame Islam, but not dare to blame doctors and heath activists?.
smoking is smoking - if they can smoke shisha in Arab countries - why outlaw tobacco?
The double standard is sheer hypocrisy.
If they wanna ban tobacco - then ban the molasses as well, coz smoke is smoke.
(yeah, I'm saying this as a smoker lol - shoot me)

Actually, anything that is known to be bad for us falls under the category of items that should be avoided... smoking definitely has nothing good to offer, hence it should be fairly clear cut, but people are 'tuned' to always argue...
I extremly hate smokings.....
but smokers also....
What does that have to do with the content of this thread?format_quote Originally Posted by فصيح الياسين

You've all missed the point lol.
point being - how is it not hypocrisy to allow the sale of shisha tobacco molasses and ban the sale of cigarette tobacco? what kind of hypocrisy is this?
Can anyone take that on?
Or are you going to post your own wayward opinions about smokers instead loool - pfft - like the quote above?
What happened to our debate skills? eh?
Bro greenhill, people can't even contextualise their argument lol.... and they seek to push their opinions instead, like the first quote in this postformat_quote Originally Posted by greenhill

I find this article more insightful.
The tobacco industry attempted to reinterpret Islamic teaching and recruit Islamic scholars in a bid to undermine the prohibition on smoking in many Muslim countries, an investigation has shown.
How tobacco firms tried to undermine Muslim countries' smoking ban
Evidence from archived industry documents from the 1970s to the late 1990s shows that tobacco companies were seriously concerned about Islamic teaching. In 1996, an internal document from British American Tobacco warned that, because of the spread of “extremist views” from fundamentalists in countries such as Afghanistan, the industry would have to “prepare to fight a hurricane”.
BAT and other companies, which were losing sales in affluent countries where anti-smoking measures had been introduced, devised strategies to counter this perceived threat to sales in places such as Egypt, Indonesia and Bangladesh, which have large populations of young people who smoke.
The industry was concerned that the World Health Organisation was encouraging the anti-smoking stance of Islamic leaders. A 1985 report from tobacco firm Philip Morris squarely blamed the WHO. “This ideological development has become a threat to our business because of the interference of the WHO … The WHO has not only joined forces with Moslem fundamentalists who view smoking as evil, but has gone yet further by encouraging religious leaders previously not active anti-smokers to take up the cause,” it said.
“A Moslem who attacks smoking generally speaking would be a threat to existing government as a ‘fundamentalist’ who wishes to return to sharia law,” says one of the archive documents. It adds: “Our invisible defence must be the individualism which Islam allows its believers … smoking and other signs of modern living should encourage governments to a point at which it is possible quietly to suggest their benefits.”
It adds: “With Islam we might ask what other aspects of modern living are similarly open to extremist demands for prohibition under strict interpretation of sharia: motion pictures, television, and art depicting the human being? Use of electronic amplification by muezzin calling from a minaret? The education of women?” the document says.
The earliest fatwa against tobacco was in 1602, but many scholars believed smoking cigarettes or taking tobacco in water pipes or other forms was harmless until evidence of the dangers to health began to emerge in the mid 20th century. Jurists pronounced that tobacco use was makrooh (discouraged). In many Islamic countries, a harder line was taken, with smoking prohibited on the grounds that the Qur’an does not permit self-harm or intoxication.
The WHO negotiated the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, starting in 1999, in response to what it describes as the “explosive increase in tobacco use”. The convention, which outlines strategies intended to reduce demand, was adopted in 2003.
A report in 2000 from the Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (Cora) department at BAT after the first international negotiations said: “It appears that the WHO’s efforts to link religion (specifically Islam) with issues surrounding the use of tobacco are bearing fruit … We will need to discuss separately how we might understand and manage this aspect in line with the Cora strategy.”
The tobacco industry attempted to re-interpret anti-smoking Islamic teachings. A 1996 BAT memo suggests identifying “a scholar/scholars, preferably at the Al Azhar University in Cairo, who we could then brief and enlist as our authoritative advisers/allies and occasionally spokespersons on the issue.
“We agreed that such scholars/authority would need to be paired up with an influential Moslem writer/journalist … such advice would present the most effective and influential opinion able to counter extremist views, which are generally peddled by Islamic fundamentalist preachers largely misinterpreting the Koran … This is an issue to be handled extremely gingerly and sensitively … We have to avoid all possibilities of a backlash.”
Tobacco industry lawyers were also involved in this attempt at revision. A presentation from 2000, prepared by the firm Shook, Hardy and Bacon, gave an overview of the background to Islam and smoking, with slides stating that there is no prohibition on smoking in the Qur’an – and that “making rules beyond what Allah has allowed is a sin in itself”.
Prof Mark Petticrew from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, who led the research, said he was amazed by what researchers had found in the archives. “‘You couldn’t make it up’ comes to mind,” he said. “The thing that jumps out at me from all this is the fact that we had tobacco industry lawyers actually developing theological arguments. That was pretty surprising.”
A document suggest Philip Morris wanted to try to recruit Islamic scholars at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. A representative of the Canadian Tobacco Manufacturers’ Council “agreed to make exploratory contact”, it says. Petticrew and his team do not know whether they were successful. “We couldn’t find the papers,” he said.The tobacco industry is still heavily promoting smoking in countries such as Bangladesh and Egypt, which are predominantly Muslim and have high proportions of smokers.Its marketing is generally adapted to the “not overly devout”, says the study. The authors call for further research to find out how the industry had approached other faiths.
“The launch of the Faith Against Tobacco national campaign by Tobacco Free Kids and faith leaders in the US, for example, brings together Christianity, Islam, Judaism and other faiths ‘to support proven solutions to reduce smoking’. Understanding efforts by the industry to undermine the efforts of other faith communities brings to light a broader strategy to marginalize tobacco control in diverse communities, and refocuses the problem on tobacco-related health harms,” says the paper.
BAT told the Guardian. “This study, which concerns material written nearly 20 years ago, does not represent the views, policies and position of British American Tobacco. We are a global business that holds itself to strict standards of business conduct and corporate governance, manufacturing and marketing our products in accordance with domestic and international laws and observing the cultural and religious beliefs in the 200 countries in which we operate.”
Philip Morris did not respond to the Guardian’s request for comment.
Guardian.com
you know, all the Muslim countries have to do is ban tobacco advertising as the west have done, and therefore limit the long reach of the 7 dwarves (tobacco giants) in terms of promoting their products... that will quickly make them realise that their long reach and influence has been curbed - just as it has been in the west. In the UK, tobacco advertising is banned, we just cannot advertise it.
A ban on tobacco advertising in the middle east will be a major blow to the tobacco industry.

Singapore has its own way to reduce smoking. Singaporean govt forbid smoking in many places and make cigarette price very expensive. But I never heard tobacco industries lobby the Singaporean govt to reduce cigarette price and allow the people to smoke in more places.
By the way, people say, Indonesia is the heaven for smokers and Singapore is the hell for smokers. Yeah, cigarette price in non-Muslim country Singapore is almost 7 times higher than cigarette price in the Muslim country Indonesia.
Interesting. I found this article, which says that Bhutan is the only country in the world to totally ban the production and sale of tobacco: http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/fea...920757761.htmlformat_quote Originally Posted by ardianto

Under the law, any individual found selling tobacco can face imprisonment for a period of three to five years.

The golden principle given to us by our Prophet Muhammad salla Allaho alaihi wa sallam is: لا ضرر و لا ضرار :
(Allah knows best).
It means:
There should neither be harming nor reciprocating harm. (Ibn Majah).
This hadeeth is given in the context of tobacco and narcotics in the book, "Essentials of Islam".
The hadeeth means that every such thing is forbidden to eat /or drink /or take in any way which causes harm to the user or to others. At the time of the Prophet salla Allaho alaihi wa sallam there were no such thing as cigarette, cocaine or heroin etc. but, no doubt, that Islam is the Deen of Allah, The All-Knowing and All- Wise. So Allah gave such principles which are getting unfolded day by day till the end of this world. Thus no one should say that we don't have Command against these modern harmful things. Alhamdulillah, we do have clear Commands in our perfect Islam!!!
Smoking is so much harmful that it doesn't only cause harm to the smoker, but also to his/her innocent children and spouse sitting around him/her. He/she loves them on the one hand and harms them (causing destruction of their respiratory system) on the other hand, what a stupidity!!!

I'm just wondering, is tobacco itself harmful or is it the preservative that they put in it, sorry to stray off the main emphasis. I think that smoking have been around for an extremely long while.

I think before anyone condemn tobacco a natural product of mother Earth, you should really be condemning the people who temper and destroyed this product that God created, if anything needs to be done, is the people who temper with the product should be brought to trial.
Early usages[]

Smoking has been practiced in one form or another since ancient times. Tobacco and various hallucinogenic drugs were smoked all over the Americas as early as 5000 BC in shamanistic rituals and originated in the Peruvian and Ecuadorian Andes. Many ancient civilizations, such as the Babylonians Indians and Chinese, burnt incense as a part of religious rituals, as did the Israelites and the later Catholic and orthodox Christian churches.
In Ancient Greece smoke was used as healing practice and the Oracle of Delphi made prophecies while intoxicated by inhaling natural gases from a natural bore hole. The Greek historian Herodotos also wrote that the Scythians used cannabis for ritual mourning purposes and, to some degree, pleasure. He describes how Scythians burned hemp seed (IV, 75):
James L. Butrica criticized this view, emphasizing that the term "ἀγάμενοι" should be translated as "astounded" or "in mourning", as this is "closer to what one might expect in a ritual connected with death". This type of ritual has been confirmed as a result of archeological discoveries.
“ At once it begins to smoke, giving off a vapour unsurpassed by any vapour-bath one could find in Greece. The Scythians enjoy it so much that they howl with pleasure. ”

Smoking in the Americas probably originated in the incense-burning ceremonies of shamans and was later adopted for pleasure or as a social tool. The Maya employed it in classical times (at least from the 10th century) and the Aztecs included it in their mythology. The Aztec goddess Cihuacoahuatl had a body consisting of tobacco, and the priests that performed human sacrifices wore tobacco gourds as symbols of divinity. Even today certain Tzeltal Maya sacrifice 13 calabashes of tobacco at New Year. The smoking of tobacco and various other hallucinogenic drugs was used to achieve trances and to come into contact with the spirit world. Reports from the first European explorers and conquistadors to reach the Americas tell of rituals where native priests smoked themselves into such high degrees of intoxication that it is unlikely that the rituals were limited to just tobacco. No concrete evidence of exactly what they smoked exists, but the most probable theory is that the tobacco was much stronger, consumed in extreme amounts, or was mixed with other, unknown psychoactive drugs.
A ceremonial pipe of the
In North America the most common form of smoking was in pipes, which today are best known as thePeace pipe offered both to other tribes and later European settlers as a gesture of goodwill and diplomacy. In the Caribbean, Mexico and Central and South America, early forms of cigarettes include smoking reeds or cigars were the most common smoking tools. Only in modern times has the use of pipes become fairly widespread. Smoking is depicted in engravings and on various types of pottery as early as the 9th century, but it is not known whether it was limited to just the upper class and priests
By the time Europeans arrived in the Americas in the late 15th century there was widespread use of tobacco smoking as a recreational activity. At the banquets of nobles, the meal would commence by passing out fragrant flowers and smoking tubes for the dinner guests. At the end of the feast, which would last all night, the remaining flowers, smoking tubes and food would be given as a kind of alms to old and poor people who had been invited to witness the social occasion, or it would be rewarded to the servants.
thank you for making us aware with this, may Allah reward you.
