In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

It is clear that there is much harm in the use of the products. All the experts are unanimous that those products are harmful to the body and cause cancer and therefore prohibited.

Allah Ta’ala says in the Qur’an:

وَيُحِلُّ لَهُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْخَبَائِثَ (الاعراف)

And permits pure thing for them and forbids them from impure things. (Al-A’raaf – 157)

وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ (النساء)

Do not kill yourselves (al-Nisa’-29)

وَلَا تُلْقُوا بِأَيْدِيكُمْ إِلَى التَّهْلُكَةِ (البقرة)

And do not throw your own hands (do not lead yourselves) into destruction.

(Al-Bakakah-195)

Haram and makrooh are different levels of prohibitions. That does not make a difference from a practical point of view. One has to abstain from haram as well as makrooh.

And Allah knows best
