Smoking

[Nahum]

Is smoking a sin?

[SDG]

weed, cigars, or cancer sticks???

[Felicity]

I always liked the smell of a pipe.

My observation has been that addictions suck the spiritual life out of people, regardless of what kind they are and cigarettes are one of the worst to get rid of. Harder than liquor and other kinds of drugs.

I wouldn't say it was a sin. I've heard people use the argument that it is a sin because it defiles our bodies - the temple of the Lord. But, if you hold everything that we put in our bodies that is unhealthy (processed food, additives, saturated fats, pollutants, experimental drug therapies) as being sinful too, we are in BIG trouble.

I agree about our bodies being the temple....but with smoking comes addiction... I think Felicity said it, that it is more addicting than alcohol...and teh addiction is a big problemo
