Re: CS Lewis on modesty and societal propriety
People also don't realize that C.S. Lewis married late in life, used to have lively discussions with notables such as Tolkien at the local meeting house (pub) and (according to one professional I know) smoked cigars.

None of which takes away from the statement of chastity vs modesty.

I cannot see smoking being a sin, but it is stupid and destructive of the body. Before they knew it was destructive to the body they were not as responsible as we are today.

We discussed this here: http://apostolicfriendsforum.com/showthread.php?t=8780

Very good point, mfb. The dangers of smoking weren't always so well understood as they are now.
