Not to mention more collectable.

I was waiting for someone to mention that.

As has been stated here, not a documented sin.

Obviously we old people remember the 50's when all your neighbors, unsaved relatives, teachers, doctors...you name it....smoking was accepted everywhere! In the breakroom at work; in the office, I had office jobs in the 60's and co-workers smoked at their desk!!!!

Now when we look at the church, it's a commonsense thing. Bad habit, yes!
Unhealthy---yes! Sin...only as a waste of money.
I've known more than one person who was baptized, filled with the HG and continued to smoke; Still attended church faithfully, even played their guitar for worship ..(the pastor felt denying this would not be productive to this person's walk with God). Did they try to quit...yes...but for some it just was not an easy task.

This is a personal addiction and for many insurmountable. Be glad God is the judge!

I think some Saturday morning I'll light up a nice pipe and sip on a brandy during my Bible studies. lol

Where ever you go, you'll get there sooner, that's for sure... I personally feel that we're responsible for the temple of God and should take care of it to the best of our abilities. That includes diet and exercise. Is one sin above another?

so true revelationist, taking care of ourselves is a core value in my faith, no doubt, dt

It amazes me that people will point their fingers at a smoker and not look at themselves. Do they eat right? Exercise? Go to the denist and doctor like they should? Whether we like it or not, it all the same. We forget the beam in our own eyes when looking at the splinters in anothers.
