Smoking is not a sin. In Italy, even Roman Catholic Cardinals smoke. Smoking is only a sin in countries like Nigeria where smoking has always been seen as originating from the desire to "do guy".

If smoking is a sin because 'it destroys the body' , then sugar is a big sin because it causes diabetes and Palm oil is a huge sin because it causes high cholesterol. Everyone knows that sugar is dangerous because of its relationship to diabetes but no one has come here to say it's a sin to take sugar. Same with palm oil and many other food we eat.

I don't know about cigarettes but I smoke an average of 16 sticks of igbo per day yet I receive inspiration and revelations from God. Leave all those rubbish things small boys are smoking up and down and go for the real deal (ibadan weeds), you'd be so high that you won't know when you would start conversing on a daily basis with the Most High.

Anything that destroy your health is a SIN. Cigarette is a GREAT sin.. Weed Mary J is medicinal, continue smoking weed at least once a day. I've been doing it since '97 and I'm 28 now.. Life Is Good!

The bible says in 1Corinthians 3:16-17 ESV;

"Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple."

Just like Madmadu said, an average cigeratte contains more than 200 HARMFUL CHEMICALS... And the bible warns us not to defile our body because it doesn't belong to us....

This is a story. It cld be dangerous to the health but it isn't a sin.

I am not sure if smoking is a sin,but I know it's dangerous to ones health. Many hard drug users have died mysteriously and many are still suffering from the usage. Be drug free.

Idk, but guys who smoke foul-smelling cigars, and/or cigarettes and then proceed to mask the smell with a douse of heavy cologne are just...they should be dealt with by the law for the offense of devastating the senses of the populace.

On a more serious note, smoking is considered a sin on the premiss that it causes bodily harm.

Its a sin. Avoid dat tin dat will destroy ur soul as our body is d temple of d holy spirit.

You mailed it. Na everything be sin for Nigeria. We know religion pass those wey we borrow am from.

its better not to talk at all than to open ur mouth and spew gibberish. A fool talk because he wants to display his foolishness and better is a single word from a wise man than a thousand word from the mouth of a fool. But the word of the wise is like a river of life granting life to thirsty men.
OP i will point to you some hidden treasure of the word of God and leave you to decide.

1 Grief not the Holy Spirit: If a girl gives her heart to you I ask is it right to break it just because she gave it to you of her own? You said that will be wickedness? You are right information saying that now bro, see it like this; The girl stand for God who gave her heart the Holy Spirit to you now is it right for you to grief the Spirit because of God generousity?

2 You are the Temple of God: Once in a town there is a king who summon his chief for a meeting to decide on a issue. After the meeting the King was aware of a stranger in the land whom the villagers oppress and beat up. The king then decide to live with the stranger for he thou "they will fear me". But the stranger bring into the house things that are abominations to the King.What then will the king do? will he tolerate that? You answer well the king will punish the stranger for his insolence. Now the king is God whom your oppression is reported to him by his elders that surround his throne. The villagers are the evil spirit oppressing you and you are the stranger which you're on earth. But God decided to live in you to keep you safe from evil one demanding nothing but holiness in ur body. Now bro is it good to polute ur body with smoking? Is it good to force God to destroy you? As it written "whoever destroy God temple God will destroy him" and that temple you are.

3. Why kill yourself?: A fool see a trap and walk straight into it but the wise avoid it and better is a living dog than a dead lion. Bro you yourself see what is written at the back of that cigarette "smokers are liable to die young" do you want to be the fool who walk straight to his trap? don't you know a living dog is better than a dead lion? don't you know you are more useful alive to your family, friends, country and the world at large than dead?

I lay before you this day brother the issue of death and life and it is ur duty to choose. Now what will you do bro? death or life?

...what you tagged inspiration is not really inspiration from God,it's the begining of mental problems and visitation to mental illness home. Some folks receive greater inspiration from God without using drugs. I know something will kill a man,but one must not let it be hard drug...

Explain how those who smoke in cold regions will see this as a sin.

Smoking of any Stuff that produces smokes from your mouth and noses is dangerous to your health. It is like taking a knife to kill yourself. It is suicide. Suicide is a Capital Sin before God. It is also like smoking bokoharams and suicide bombers into your country to kill yourself and your people. It is suicide, a sin and murder also a sin, double sins. May God help you.

The 10 commandments. That's d ONLY sin. Others r just to check us n scare us.

Lets even go to the bible where God told man that we should dominate d world and consume every thing we find,; plant or animal. He didnt have a caveat for cigarrette or weed or anything for that matter.. If we are talking of the effects it has on d body then we wont even eat anything because every food consumed has a side effect on d long run.. eat too much meat it can kill . Too much oil can kill. Too much anything at all has a negative side effect.. So my take is ; smoking is bad for the health jsut like many foods. If u can stop it better. But i dont agree its a sin..

smoking is not 'the sin', the act of destroying the vessel with smoking is the sin.

[i][/i] the bible said we should have regard for life, smoking endanger ur life, if u smoke u have no regard for life and that make it a sin

Its forbidden and a sin to take anything dat is harmful to ur health.

And what's not harmful to the health

I think smoking is unhealthy, but it may not neessarily be sinful. If smoking is clearly sinful because of its harmful effects, then eating oil is also sinful because of its harmful cholesterol.

martyns303:
A follower once asked one of the disciples if it is ok for a man to keep his hair long, and the disciple replied him saying, doesn't nature itself tell you these things are wrong?

How does Nature reveal that long hair on a man is wrong?

If God wanted you to smoke, he would have made a chimney on top of your head..
SIN is Satan Identity Number..

Smoking cigarettes is a sin not weed

@Friedplantane
May God open your eyes! Gift is different from the giver, that's why people can work miracles and still be told "I know you not" on the last day. That you have gift for clairvoyance doesn't mean a relationship with God.

#Is-Smoking-A-Sin?
God created everything for a purpose: NOTHING IS BAD WHEN APPLIED FOR THE RIGHT PURPOSE but even RIGHT BECOMES WRONG IN A WRONG PLACE and TOO MUCH IS BAD".

Meanwhile, there's no one filled with the holy ghost that will receive his approval to smoke. That's why christianity is not by knowledge or moral principles - it's by the holy ghost!
There are condictions a doctore will prescribe smoking for a patient. If I were to pastor such member I won't tell him to stop when his faith can not carry it except I was strictly instructed by the holy spirit.

It is not what enters a man that causes him to sin but, what comes out of him. Drinking and smoking is not sinful, but getting drunk or taking drugs or stimulants that lead to loss of self-control is sinful.It is the act by the person that matters not the things around him.
