Is it true that frequent supplication for a good end (of life) and maintaining kinship ties prevent diseases resulting from smoking, despite knowing its prohibition?

This statement is true regarding the benefit of maintaining kinship ties in expanding provision and delaying one's demise, but it is not true in denying the occurrence of illness. For it is not prevented that one's life may be prolonged alongside illness and the deadly harms caused by smoking, which scholars have forbidden based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "There should be no harm nor reciprocating harm," and Allah Almighty's saying: "And do not throw yourselves with your own hands into destruction." Therefore, there must be a sincere resolve to quit smoking, and to seek help through supplication and the company of good people.
