no one is saying it is easy to walk away from all that temptation yet it is doable. Allah will have something better for you when you leave something for him. Look up ahmed que he was a singer and left it for his faith. These young people simply lack good role model. They are imitating what they see on MTV

May Allah swt guide her,amal nuux and all those young girls like them who are inspiring to be singers. It is obvious they have what it takes to make it in the music industry. But anything we leave for Allah's sake he will replace it with something better.

The last little girl is sooo adorable awwww.. Lol@ Alpha blondy being the only kid wearing diapers.

Instead what they should do is have a great education campaign while taxing the heck out of it. Of coarse it should be banned in certain areas like hospitals, restaurants, near schools, and such. . Education and awareness is essential but you must note how do you go about educating drugies (ie if someone is on a khat). An individual who is high on khat can't think nor make a sound judgement. You can however educate the youngesters who do not consume it early on. Where, if you were to ban it (although that is wishful thinking on my part) perhaps they would take the drug off their system. And only then would they be productive members of their society that can take personal responsibility for their actions. As for the US alcohol prohibition. You can't compare Somalia to the US. It is most likely that the affluent and the rich among them as well as their average person was against the alcohol ban to begin with. Where in Somalia for the most part it is the losers (mashaqeestayaasha) who eat khat. Let me not forget though that some poor women actually do sell khat and that it is their source of income (but those I am sure once the government bans if ever then they could empower the somali women by given them skills and a better means to earn income)...

smoking and enjoying life? I dont see the relation. By smoking you are committing slow suicide.

oba hiloowlow;885590 wrote: lol why cigarettes though Smoking and your health Smoking is a greater cause of death and disability than any single disease, says the World Health Organisation (WHO). Dr Trisha Macnair last medically reviewed this article in May 2011. How does smoking affect health? Cigarette smoke contains about 4,000 different chemicals which can damage the cells and systems of the human body. These include at least 80 chemicals that can cause cancer (including tar, arsenic, benzene, cadmium and formaldehyde) nicotine (a highly addictive chemical which hooks a smoker into their habit) and hundreds of other poisons such as cyanide, carbon monoxide and ammonia. Every time a smoker inhales, these chemicals are drawn into the body where they interfere with cell function and cause problems ranging from cell death to genetic changes which lead to cancer. This is why tobacco smoking is a known or probable cause of approximately 25 diseases. According to WHO figures, smoking is responsible for approximately five million deaths worldwide every year. However it also contributes to, or aggravates many other diseases and may play a part in many more deaths. Even the WHO says that its impact on world health isn’t fully assessed. WHO says smoking is a greater cause of death and disability than any single disease. By 2020, the WHO expects the worldwide death toll to reach 10 million, causing 17.7 per cent of all deaths in developed countries. There are believed to be 1.1 billion smokers in the world, 800 million of them in developing countries. Top Risk factors of smoking People take up smoking for a variety of reasons. Young people are especially vulnerable because of pressure from their peers and the image that smoking is clever, cool or 'grown-up'. Just trying a few cigarettes can be enough to become addicted. Many people say that smoking helps them to feel more relaxed or cope with stress but nicotine is a stimulant not a relaxant, so it doesn’t help stress. What people are describing is more likely to be relief from their craving or withdrawal symptoms. Top Smoking damage There are hundreds of examples and volumes of research showing how cigarette smoking damages the body. For example, UK studies show that smokers in their 30s and 40s are five times more likely to have a heart attack than non-smokers. Smoking contributes to coronary artery disease (atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries) where the heart’s blood supply becomes narrowed or blocked, starving the heart muscle of vital nutrients and oxygen, resulting in a heart attack. As a result smokers have a greatly increased risk of needing complex and risky heart bypass surgery. Smoking also increases the risk of having a stroke, because of damage to the heart and arteries to the brain. If you smoke for a lifetime, there is a 50 per cent chance that your eventual death will be smoking-related - half of all these deaths will be in middle age. Top Smoking and lung problems Smoking does enormous damage to the lungs, especially because these tissues are in the direct firing line for the poisons in smoke. As a result there is a huge increase in the risk of lung cancer, which kills more than 20,000 people in the UK every year. US studies have shown that men who smoke increase their chances of dying from the disease by more than 22 times. Women who smoke increase this risk by nearly 12 times. Lung cancer is a difficult cancer to treat - long term survival rates are poor. Smoking also increases the risk of the following cancers: •Oral •Uterine •Liver •Kidney •Bladder •Stomach •Cervical •Leukaemia Even more common among smokers is a group of lung conditions called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD which encompasses chronic bronchitis and emphysema. These conditions cause progressive and irreversible lung damage, and make it increasingly difficult for a person to breathe. Top Harm to children from smoking Smoking in pregnancy greatly increases the risk of miscarriage, is associated with lower birth weight babies, and inhibits child development. Smoking by parents following the birth is linked to sudden infant death syndrome, or cot death, and higher rates of infant respiratory illness, such as bronchitis, colds, and pneumonia. Top Smoking and young people Smoking is particularly damaging in young people. Evidence shows people who start smoking in their youth - aged 11 to 15 - are three times more likely to die a premature death than someone who takes up smoking at the age of 20. They are also more likely to be hooked for life. Nicotine, an ingredient of tobacco, is highly addictive – it takes on average on about six cigarettes before nicotine receptors in the brain are switched on, generating a craving for nicotine which may continue for the rest of the persons life. In less than one packet of cigarettes, a person’s brain can be changed forever from that of a non-smoker to a nicotine addicted smoker. Although the health risks of smoking are cumulative, giving up can yield health benefits, regardless of the age of the patient, or the length of time they have been smoking. If you join a proper smoking-cessation service, using all available help including medication and counselling, your chances of quitting may be as high as one in three (compared to just three per cent if you go it alone).

Smoking and Khat should be banned in Somalia. Markaas baa horumar la gaadhayaa.
