Most churches teach that smoking will send you to hell using scriptures that talk about how our bodies are the temple of God and we are to care for our bodies.
In my opinion, you can't take that stand unless you are also going to take a similar stand against other things that destroy this body.
It is a known fact that many types of foods cause diabetes, heart disease, heart attacks, high blood pressure and the like.
What is your opinion on this issue?

Smoking won't send you to hell, despite the fact you will probably be more used to breathing in the sulphur.
I said it before, it is not a "your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit" issue. It is an issue of "Thou shall not have any other Gods before me."
To smokers, cigarettes are your God, and don't tell me you can smoke without becoming addicted to nicotine. It is a scientific impossibility.
Smoking will not send you to hell, but worshiping at the feet of your addiction will.
