    Yes, smoking cigarettes or any form of tobacco does not invalidate the physical act of fasting, but it is strongly discouraged during fasting in Islam. While it doesn’t break the fast from a technical standpoint, smoking involves inhaling smoke and engaging in a habit that is harmful to one’s health. Fasting in Islam not only involves abstaining from food and drink but also encompasses a broader concept of self-discipline and purification. Many Islamic scholars and health experts advise against smoking, especially during fasting, due to its detrimental health effects. Smoking is harmful to the body, and fasting is an opportunity for Muslims to improve their physical and spiritual well-being. Therefore, it is recommended to refrain from smoking while fasting to fully benefit from the fast and to promote a healthier lifestyle.

    The time for Suhur, the pre-dawn meal before fasting during Ramadan, ends at a specific Islamic time known as “Fajr” or “Subh Sadiq.” Fajr begins with the onset of true dawn, which is the time when the first light appears on the horizon vertically. This marks the beginning of the daily fast, and Suhur should be completed before this time. The exact timing of Fajr can vary based on your location and the method of calculation used. It is recommended to consult a local Islamic authority, mosque, or an Islamic prayer time app or website for accurate and specific Suhur and Fajr times in your area during Ramadan, as these times can change depending on your geographical location and the time of year. It’s essential to finish your Suhur meal a few minutes before the Fajr time to ensure that you have observed the fast correctly. Additionally, some Islamic communities follow the practice of the “Adhan” or call to prayer for Fajr, which is another indicator that Suhur’s time has ended.
