Those familiar with the history of smoking know that it originated with the American Indians (Amerindians). What not many people know is that smoking was not a recreational activity of these people but a spiritual one. The Amerindians have long believed that smoking tobacco possesses a supernatural power and charming effect, compelling belligerents to cease or avoid war and pursue peace. Thus the so-called 'peace-pipe'. The burned smoke was a ritual offering to the Amerindian gods (demons) and its burning was considered to bring favour to them. A member of an enemy tribe who entered a house and smoked with the host was guaranteed protection and safe conduct when he left.

The burning of tobacco was also used in mediumship, that is, supposedly consulting the dead, or for making acceptable offerings to the gods (demons). They believed that the ascending smoke reached the gods (demons), thus pacifying the spirits. Over time, these tobacco offerings were rolled into corn husks (the first cigarettes or cigars) and replaced the earlier rituals.

Chief of the Amerindian deities (demons) to which these tobacco offerings were made was their sun-god, to whom they blew their smoke. The sun-god is known in many cultures but perhaps the names we are most familiar with are the Egyptian Osiris who was represented as a disc. The sun-god was one of the false deities the Israelites worshipped, when Moses went to collect the Ten Commandments on Mt. Sinai, and was placed between the horns of the golden calf. This symbol came to be seen simultaneously as the cross-section of a phallus, for sun-worship and phallus worship invariable went hand-in-hand - as the sun was the life-giver to earth, so was the male organ the sower of human seed. This sun-worship connects to the Hindu Shiva (goddess of death and destruction) and the Druidic Odin.

When you smoke tobacco you are making counterfeit peace offerings to devils and your 'reward' is the calming effect of nicotine on your body which bypasses the repentance process. TOBACCO-SMOKING IS, IN A WORD, COUNTERFEIT SALVATION.

Someone who smokes tobacco is making a spiritual offering to demons and when they inhale the smoke, they are inviting demons into their respiratory system.

Cigarette smoking is a sin, but anyone who is saved and born again that is a cigarette smoker will not go to hell. We will just smell like smoke,  In many instances is this topic debatable as in 1st John he says (and I am paraphrasing) that if anyone claims to be saved and resumes living in a lifestyle of sin then they most likely are not saved at all, or has not experienced a true encounter with the living God. God the creator of all that breathed life into being, entered our hearts at salvation and saved our soul from eternal damnation. To walk away from the experience of salvation without any change is as impossible as getting hit by a mac truck and escaping without damage. I don't know about you but it's extremely hard to believe that this sin will cause us to send ourselves to hell. It is a detriment to the body and our physical body is no longer ours but the Lord's and to pollute it with smoke is desecrating the vessel (our body) of the Lord because the Holy Spirit dwells within 1st Corinthians 6:19-2 "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." It is addictive.1st Corinthians 6:12 "All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any." Anything which one cannot stop doing makes him a slave to it. The bottom line is that it is a matter of the conscience. Are you saved by grace through faith in Christ? Is the Holy Spirit that dwells inside your body convicting you fro smoking? We are to have no addictions except to Christ. We are no longer "pro choice" we gave up that right when we got saved. Jesus says himself that we cannot be saved unless we pick up the cross daily and follow him. This means dying to our will for His. What is the Lord telling you? I am a cigarette smoker, and I can attempt to justify my actions on various levels but wont because it is plain sin. I am not in denial, it just does not make sense Biblically or Spiritually that this this sin can and will cause you to be damned to hell. That is preposterous. The fact is that through Christ "all things are possible" and me and the Lord are working on it. That's what really matters. The Bible also says that he "Searcheth the heart and knoweth all things" He is an omniscient God. Where is your heart at? So forget about the silly topic that the enemy is attempting to use to confuse your mind. The Word of God says that my soul is saved and and a whole different story. Do I have to smoke? Nope. Do I choose to? Yes. Is God changing my mind? Yes. Remember, religion will say your not saved but Christ was known as the "friend of sinners".
