Yes bro i agree it is a different issue, but im commenting on your analogy why smoking is haraam though. You said smoking is haram becuase it is harming yourself. So my point is anything that harms yourself haram? using the same analogy, here is what the article states on sleep deprivation

Drivers are especially vulnerable, the researchers warned. They found that people who drive after being awake for 17 to 19 hours performed worse than those with a blood alcohol level of .05 percent. That's the legal limit for drunk driving in most western European countries, though most U.S. states set their blood alcohol limits at .1 percent and a few at .08 percent.

The study said 16 to 60 percent of road accidents involve sleep deprivation. The researchers said countries with drunk driving laws should consider similar restrictions against sleep-deprived driving.

The British Medical Association warned that there are other problems associated with sleep deprivation beyond impaired motor skills. People who get too little sleep may have higher levels of stress, anxiety and depression, and may take unnecessary risks.

And the dangers aren't limited to drivers. People who work long shifts or night shifts, such as medical personnel or other emergency workers, may also have troubles.

As you can read, From all angles sleep deprivation is wrong (using your analogy on why smoking is haraam)

Yes sister, i agree with you, but there are limitations with what you just said. Living in Tokyo would also be harming your body because of all the Pollutions. Living in tokyo would not be considered haraam i persume. I believe we have to look in that statement in depth about harming your body. There is long term and short term. Smoking around people who dont smoke, I agree that could be labelled as haraam because of second hand smoke and incosideration of other people healthy lifestyle. But smoking alone, i think it can go both ways. I personally believe it deals with how much you do it. Overdoing anything can be harmful. Smoking to an extent where they have to put a hole in ur throat, i believe that is going to far. If your smoking, but do it moderatly i dont see the problem.

according 2 u
my analogy you have confused bro......im saying tht there is only harm in it and no benefit at all ..all your examples have some sort of benefit in them
Click to expand...

having benefits in them wouldnt be considered haraam? and Well when i did talk about sleep deprivation which i was asking you if it was haraam according to your analogy. You seemed you indirectley said no it wouldnt be haraam, since you never said it wasnt, you seemed to "defend" sleep deprivation

sleep deprivation will be like a person will stay awake crazy hours to make some money...benefit earned is he made some extra cash

Remember, all i am trying to do is comment on you and the people that said it was %100 haraam because it is harmful to body analogy. That isnt a good enough point to assert that smoking is haraam.

I think that line refers to people asking even if drinking a small amount of alcohol is haraam??

And is it possible to give me the hadith number? i would like to know the history of the verse inorder to understand it properly

lol i just wanted to make sure that when you do tell other bros or sisters that something is haraam, and you do not have enough information to base on that judgement, it be best to say In my opinion it woud be.... instead of just saying it is haraam.

Btw nurofislam, Smoking does not intoxicate you, you are still in the right state of mind.

I completely agree the human actions are sometimes very confusing.

same could be said about alcohol, drugs even overeating a lot of things people know yet they still do it....its a shame people conform to the wrong things....
 
Smoking is haram, because in the Quran it says you should not consume anything that will hurt you. The money you spend on ciggerates could've been spent to the poor.
