7/28/2019 Speech: Smoking - One of the Worst Thing in the World

1/1

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh Good morning to YB Dato Sulaiman, lovely

parents, students and all of my good friends. Today, I am going to give a speech entitled Smoking, One

of the worst things in the world Have you ever wondered; why do people smoke? Most people smoke

because it is the only way for them to release stress, having fun and to make them feel good about

themselves but they didnt know that smoking can kills them more than stress can.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Do you realize? Every year, around hundreds of non-smokers die just because they inhale

cigarettes smoke and being close to smoker. Do you think its fair for somebody to die just because of

someone else fault? Not just other people but your family, your close friends and even you will have the

risk of dying if someone close to you or them is smoking.

Face the fact; smoking is bad for your health. Cigarette contains thousands of harmful chemical

that can cause you many diseases such as stroke and lung cancer. However, if you still insist on smoking,

then I suggest you get out from your house, get out from the public places and get out from this planet

because once you start smoking; you will kill your family and peoples around you.

Smoking is a complete waste of money. Consider this; a smoker waste RM8 a day to buy a pack

of cigarette but non-smokers saves RM8 a day. Who do you think will become rich 10 years later? The

answer is obvious; it is non-smoker who will become rich 10 years later. And that is only for one pack of

cigarette, but what if the smoker buys 2, 3 or 4 pack of cigarette a day?

The most important point is smoking is Haram in Islam. The Conference of the Fatwa Committee

of Malaysia held on 23rd March 1995 decided that smoking is Haram in Islam because it is harmful to

health. They decided it based on few verses In Al-Quran: And do not kill yourselves. Surely, Allah is

Most Merciful to you. And whoever commits that through aggression and injustice, we shall cast himinto the Fire and that is easy for Allah [Surah an-Nisa, Verse 29] and Allah also says in Surah al-Baqarah,

Verse 195: And do notthrow yourselves into destruction.

Lastly, smoking will cause air pollution. When a cigarette is burned and every time someone

smokes, around 4,000 chemicals used in cigarettes are released into the air and much more when a

smoker exhales. Also, chemicals produced by cigarettes are 10 times more dangerous than diesel car

exhaust according to latest research by Tobacco Control at U.S.A.

My fellow audience,

Quit smoking today because smoking kills you and kill those who are close to you. Smoking isalso wasting your money, cause air pollution and the most important thing is smoking is Haram. I stop

smoking! You stop smoking! Everyone stop smoking! And let us start living a healthier life... As Arabians

always says, Al-Aqlu As-Salim Fil Al-Jismi As-Salim Good mind come from good body. Let us together

pray that smoker will stop smoking someday. Thats all for my speech today. Thank you for your kind

attention and I pray someday those who smoke will stop smoking. Wabillahi Taufiq wal-hidayah

assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
