Asalaamu ‘alaykum I’ve never been a social person and I’m very shy so when a friend of mine started asking me to hang out with her more I never said no and I still don’t. But these past few times the only places she’s insisted to go to, she calls them “cafes” but in actuality they are shisha spots. She says that we’ll order food and she sneaks in a shisha with her order.
It’s been 5 times now I think, and we sit there for hours at a time while I eat and listen to her talk as she smokes and I just can’t handle it anymore. Not only do I breathe in these fumes and feel disgusting but today I had to force myself to keep sitting with her as cigarette chain smokers kept bellowing their smoke directly at my face + the shisha (and I’m the type to run away from smokers the second the cigarette air comes near me).
I don’t feel comfortable when people see us, 2 girls with hijab sitting in that environment either and I feel horrible knowing that I was the one who let it continue thinking that as long as I’m the one not smoking it, it’s okay.
Now as I’m on my way home with my clothes smelling like an ashtray I’ve decided that I need to do something about this. It can’t be healthy secondhand smoking shisha right? Is it sinful to secondhand smoke as well because I’m very paranoid about that. I just don’t know how to tell her that about how wrong I think this is without coming across as a holier than thou type. Or should I just ghost her because that’s what my introverted ass is telling me to do so I can avoid having this conversation with her.
And do you guys think that my lungs are done for? As I was talking today, I could see smoke come out from my mouth at times even though I hadn’t touched any. I’m scared that my lungs are turning black :(
I know this is a bit of a read and I’m sorry if it’s a mess grammatically because English is my third language but I’d be grateful for any advice Jazakumallahu khayran
