I never implied that I believed inhaling tar filled smoke into lungs didn't defile the body. It most certainly does.
What I can't do, according to scripture, is say that a person who smokes cigarettes is somehow in worse spiritual condition than others who defile their bodies through any number of other means.
Your point about Phillipians 2:12, someone working out their own salvation with fear and trembling, is key.
