Here's an interesting question. Where does the Bible state that there is "a spirit" of this or that? I certainly believe there is a seducing spirit connected to the sin, as with many sins, but I don't believe in a spirit of the sin. There isn't any such thing as a "spirit of smoking".
And it's far more than a spirit in my opinion. Because many have obeyed the gospel and received the baptism of the Holy Ghost and strugged with this. Even preachers have struggled with this.
I'm more inclined to believe that it may be an infirmity of the flesh and that perhaps a seducing spirit seeks to convince individuals to give into it.
