How can a person remain steadfast in quitting smoking when faced with friends' blame, knowing that one will be questioned about their wealth and body, that angels are harmed by what harms the Children of Adam, and that smoke is among the evil and wasteful things?

You must praise Allah and thank Him, and ask Him for more of His blessings for quitting smoking. The prohibition of smoking has been established by rational and textual proofs from the Quran and Hadith, and by the consensus of jurists and doctors on its prohibition. We advise you to fear Allah, associate with the righteous, and stay away from bad companions.
