  • It do be like that sometimes, since you do actually have allergic to cat. Sometimes my allergic reaction is so severe i couldn’t breath through my nose and have to rely on antihistamine, other times i can hug them all day and it barely itch. One thing that helped me is to clean the room often, and vacuum the floor helps a lot, since the allergen do linger in the air and vacuuming trap it inside the vacuum. I got a robot vacuum exactly for this reason, so i can sit back and rest while the robot do the vacuuming for me.

    Change your sheet and wash your duvet/blanket more often could also help, since you’re letting him in your room and that increase the amount of time you’re exposed to allergen.

    But the best thing for both of you is to not allow him in your room to decrease the exposure time.

    I heard it has something to do with your body immune system, so being healthy also helps with it.

    Also if you have access to 5 big piece of hepa filter and a box fan, you can make a Corsi-Rosenthal Box, a DIY air purifier that works significantly better and cheaper than the one in the market, and this thing is invented to reduce indoor infection risk of covid19.






  • While smoking isn’t explicitly mentioned in the quran(because tobacco industry isn’t much a thing back then), the religion basically said any substance that cause self harm or impede judgement is haram. Guess what tobacco is.

    In Malaysia, tobacco use in 2023 is around 19.5%, if we then divide this using the current demographic which is 70% Muslim, around 13.65% of tobacco user who is also a muslim. That’s the number of muslim that wilfully defy the islamic teaching and using substance that is considered harmful to one self. Yet when we look at alcoholic use the number is really minute to the point you will only read about it in the news, but never seen a drunk muslim. It’s exactly because one substance is banned for them while another is not.

    But you know what is also banned for muslim but it still so prevalent? Gambling. Here we have this lottery where people buy a 4 digits number and the prize is given if your number matched the drawn. Because this game is simply number and have no physical form, illegal bookie can appear anywhere, and it’s so easily accessible that a lot of the bookie is set up just to serve muslim.





  • Imo, as someone living in a muslim country with alcohol sales ban on muslim only, there’s nothing similar to this. For one, if the law isn’t being amended later on, the sales ban will only and ever only imposed on muslim, prohibiting them from ever purchasing alcoholic drink. This has been a thing since the begining of Islam. What different from the generation ban is there’s in no point in time alcohol would be prohibited to anyone. The generation ban on tobacco sales however will adjust the age of smoking up by one year, every year, automatically without amending the law, so by the time the last person born after a certain year dies the prohibition will only then take effect for everyone. This is what i mean it’s new-ish, because it’s not a hard blanket ban like everything we used to see, but a soft ban that slowly take effect in a time span of a few decades.

    As for it being effective or not, if we compared to the alcoholic drinks ban for muslim, does it stop muslim from drinking? No. But does it significantly decrease it? Yes. It also mean it’s significantly harder for muslim to be addicted to alcohol exactly because it’s harder to obtain and consume it, they can’t just walk into a store and get it, they have to get from other source.


  • Prohibition of the history tend to prohibit the sale of such substance for everyone, this one is kinda like a new-ish idea, merely prohibit people born after a certain year from ever purchasing tobacco, preventing them to even starting, or at least in theory. It however did not prevent people who already smoke from purchasing it. It’s a less severe form of prohibition, akin to prohibition from selling to people younger than 18, no-smoking zone. Smoking decline in a lot of country didn’t happened by chance, its a result from a shit tons of rule set on tobacco industry, short from blanket ban.

    As for black market, you can’t create something that’s already exists.
