Smoking is Haram in Islam
He [the Prophet] commands them what is just, and forbids them what is evil;
he allows them as lawful what is good, and prohibits them from what is
bad…” (Surah al-Ar’af 7:157)
“…make not your own hands contribute to your destruction…”
(Surah al-Baqarah 2:195);
“…nor kill yourselves…” (Surah al-Nisaa 4:29)
Di Indonesia :
Cukai dan Harga Rokok termasuk yang terendah di Dunia
Penduduk Indonesia perokok aktif terbesar ketiga di Dunia
2/3 pria dewasa di Indonesia merokok
80% penduduk Indonesia adalah perokok pasif
71% perokok aktif adalah orang miskin
Rokok kebutuhan pokok terbesar kedua
Pemerintah gagal melindungi masyarakat, orang miskin akan
semakin miskin dan sakit karena rokok.
Sementara itu :
R. Budi Hartono pemilik Djarum dan BCA menjadi orang terkaya di Indonesia dengan nilai kekayaan mencapai 8,5 miliar dollar AS.
Peringkat kedua ditempatkan adiknya Michael Hartono dengan nilai kekayaan 8,2 miliar dollar AS.
Saatnya cukai rokok ditingkatkan dan hasilnya dialokasikan untuk anggaran kesehatan untuk menanggulangi beragam permasalahan kesehatan yang timbul akibat rokok.
Dan… kamu terlalu berharga, kawan.. :’)
