Q: What is the ruling regarding smoking and vaping?

There are a lot of youngsters who occupy themselves with these acts and justify their actions by quoting muftis old fatwa about cigarettes/vapes. They say that it’s not haraam, but only makrooh. Hence, they do it. They say things like it makes them feel good and relaxes them when they’re stressed out, but isn’t this a form of intoxication?

A: Medical research shows that vaping is far worse than smoking.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
