I know it's haram and I am quitting but I've heard that it invalidates your salah for 40 days and I'm afraid my salah won't be accepted during Ramadan.

Ramadan and smoking
I know that drinking alcohol before Ramadan invalidates your fast. However, smoking isn’t the same I’ve found out? Does smoking before Ramadan, but not during invalidate the fast? Ps - I mean nicotine, not weed etc

Is smoking shisha/pipe haram?
Islam mentions every intoxicant as haram. But I do not feel intoxicated by smoking shisha because the water in the base tends to absorb tobacco. So is smoking shisha/pipe haram?

Is nicotine considered an intoxicant?
There's two questions about haram nature of smoking cigarettes https://islam.stackexchange.com/q/918/17163 and https://islam.stackexchange.com/q/16815/17163.

There's two questions about haram nature of smoking cigarettes https://islam.stackexchange.com/q/918/17163 and https://islam.stackexchange.com/q/16815/17163 . However, none of the answers address whether or not nicotine is considered an intoxicant.
Wikipedia writes:
> Nicotine's mood-altering effects are different by report: in particular it is both a stimulant and a relaxant. First causing a release of glucose from the liver and epinephrine (adrenaline) from the adrenal medulla, it causes stimulation. **Users report feelings of relaxation, sharpness, calmness, and alertness.**
It's not clear from this whether or not nicotine is an intoxicant.
A relevant hadith is *The Prophet [SAW] forbade a small amount of whatever intoxicates in large amounts.* Sunan an-Nasa'i 5609 (grade: hasan). And certainly, a "large" amount of nicotine causes nicotine poisoning (actually it's quite small: "0.5-1.0 mg/kg can be a lethal dosage for adult humans"). But I'm not sure if "poisoning" would be considered "intoxication".
**Question**: Is nicotine considered an intoxicant?

My uncle's gas station is one of the only gas stations that sells no pork and no alcohol, and no lottery tickets, (alhamdullilah). It is a very busy store, and I worked there for a couple of months, but I quit thinking because I assumed that the sale of tobacco was haram (forbidden). However, I need the money to support my family and buy a car, because my dad's budget can't get me a car, and I'm not old enough to legally work anywhere else (I'm 15). Is tobacco sale haram, and am I allowed to sell it if it's my only choice?

If cigarettes are Haram why are many Muslims smoking shisha?
As per subject I see a lot of Muslims where I live that have Shisha and cigarettes. Isn't this Haram? Aren't cigarettes Haram too or is Shisha considered Hakroon (something like prawns, which is sort of undefined)?

In Islam, drinking alcoholic is strictly prohibited. Moreover, it has been mentioned clearly by GOD in several locations in Quran and no-one can argue why and ask for more explanations because it is clear.
So what I want to ask is (does Islam prohibit Marijuana?) So far, I came from Arabic background and I lived almost 20 years in an Arabian country and I've been Muslim by born. I have asked several qualified religion-people about it and they always try to avoid it. I searched also a lot in this area and did not get any useful understanding.
one may say "That which intoxicates in large quantities is prohibited in small quantities." (Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, and others, with a sound chain of narrators)
I am 100% convinced that smoking normal tobacco cigarets that we buy from groceries are Haram because it has been scientifically approved that nicotine and other ingredients in cigarets can destroy several parts in the human body. While Marijuana has not (it has very few bad things - the harm that you got as same as you got when you do anything for a long time even if it not harmful even in small amount - as eating two banana everyday considered harmful # actually anything you eat or smell is harming you in such a way and in various percentages). so we finished from this argument
and if you still saying it is haram, **WHY GOD DID NOT MENTIONED ANY THING ABOUT IT IN QURAN** ? it can be easily prohibited by mentioning 2 words as alcohol. Right?
Users who uses Alcoholic can't understand 'conversation' well, can't drive, cant' deal with any thing sensitive,can't study and can be ended up in a very bad situation. In opposite, weed don't do any of the above (I am telling you this after 5 years experience in this field). So please I need a descriptive answer that is not abusing anyone.

While there's controversy about whether marijuana causes long term effects, let's assume that the long term damage is no different than eating fatty foods or sugary drinks. It's clearly less harmful than smoking tobacco, so it does not fall under the exact same legality.
Marijuana acts more as a hallucinogen and sedative, but I can't find anything that explicitly forbids those. I'm thinking it may be forbidden as an intoxicant, but it is a different form of intoxication than alcohol.
