Does your smoking friend use a cigarette in place of a date to open fasts? Do they start to twitch and get angry while fasting? We know it’s hard to quit an old habit, and smoking is the worst. There are many techniques in aiding people to stop but some times those patches and gums just don’t cut it.

During Ramadan, smoking is prohibited during the hours of the fast, which can last up to 17 hours. For a smoker, that’s way too long to go without touching their pack and lighter. So we suggest an old school method, but an effective one, go cold turkey. That’s right. We said it, don’t touch that ciggie. Use Ramadan to get focused and get passed your addiction.
