anyything that destroys the temple of the Lord is a sin. Smoking is not good for the body so the temple of God which is your body. Therefore, smoking is a sin and all sinners shall find themselves in hell. 1 Like |

Whilst the bible does not describe such as a sin (although some puritans would try and twist the bible to describe it as such) i believe as human beings we have a responsibility to take care of our bodies and as such abstain from things that could harm our bodies. The closest example we have in the bible is when we were asked to not to drink excessively, gluttony was also described as a sin. In essence if one most smoke one MUST be able to determine what quantity is not excessive and this might be difficult to do since the damaging effects of smoking are not immediate. The effects could take up to twenty years to manifest. Also realizing that smokingg is addictive and there is a tendency to smoke excessively i belieiev it is btter off for us to avoid it all together. By the way i was a chained smoker  i really used to enjoy it but i thank God i have been delivered from the addiction.3 Likes |

KunleOshob didn't say that he stopped smoking.He said he is no more addicted but did make good points though.The emboldened below are real.

that pastor is a hungry pastor |

@smile4kenn being hungry has nothing to do with it.I've seen very poor people smoke.I've seen beggars smoke.That someone is discouraging smoking doesn't mean that he is hungry or doesn't have money 1 Like |

Oh Please. Cigarette smoking is not a sin. Don't spread lies, It's just not HEALTHY. If you are looking for a way to stop smoking, think about your health, and stop thinking that you'll go to hell. Geez. 2 Likes |

Sin is knowing the right and failing to do it. Hence the smoking of cigarettes is a sinful act. There is no going around it. |

@Bobbyaf, Sin is knowing the right and failing to do it. Hence the smoking of cigarettes is a sinful act. There is no going around it. Chewing gum is a sin too, What is wrong about smoking? You know its wrong to blar your horn so that is a sin too. Its wrong to rush for bus that means people rushing for buses are sinners. Its wrong to owe people, Owe NEPA, rent and bills so anyone who owes is a sinners too. All catholic priests who smoke are sinners and would go to Hell?

Chewing gum is a sin too, What is wrong about smoking? Be they simple or great acts of wrong they are sinful acts just the same. If you borrow and don't return that is a sinful act. Blowing one's car horn loudly could have different motives, so it depends on the circumstances, wouldn't it? If I am trying to avoid hitting you fine,  I cannot account for the rushing of buses, |
