Doctors call for fatwa on smoking

Doctors call for fatwa on smoking :

"Such moves are to be welcomed, although fatwas 'are unlikely to have much effect on rates of smoking' unless they are also accompanied by other measures, such as restrictions on advertising and sales of tobacco to minors, as well as by public awareness campaigns tailored to Muslims, the commentary warns."

See? Everyone is trying to get the world to give up smoking. It's expensive and it damages people. You cannot just make people stop. As these British doctors say, it has to be part of an effective, balanced approach.
