Certainly!
That's what we meant when we call something "SIN" it's got nothing to do with unbelievers like you. We are talking to ourselves!
For instance, sex between two unmarried adults is not a crime in the human society but in the congregation it's SIN!
So we aren't setting standards for you that's not within our standard only applies to those within! 1Corinthians 5:13

LordReed:


Swell!

LordReed:


It is also common knowledge that tobacco is a natural plant and our body can process the substances it produces.

Go check it up sugar is also now being regarded as a poison. It is also said to promote cancer growth because the cancer cells thrive better in a sugar rich environment.

haddeylium:


Really? I actually rated you above this . What are you driving at or this some kind of jokes

YES! And because the tobacco plant is a toxic chemical, it's used as insecticide and rodenticide. Now, imagine people feeding off from this .

Our body need sugar to survive. Deprivation of sugar will lead to the death of our body cells because they need it to carry out all essential metabolism. Lordreed, you don't actually need to eat candies or sugarcube to consume sugar. When you eat fruit, vegetables and many other carbohydrates, you're consuming sugar needed by the body. When you seem lost is with the Diet. People have different sugar demand but the problem is not the sugar. No amount of tobacco is essential to the body rather they're toxic, lethal and not for people that want to live long

LordReed:


Your body doesn't need refined sugar, it is not essential to the body. You can do well without refined sugar yet you take it everyday, are you addicted to it?

haddeylium:


In a more broader sense to my earlier post. Our body doesn't need sugar at all. What they need is actually glucose which can be found in different form.
In the case of refined sugar, our body break down the sugar here rapidly which will skyrocket the demand for insulin. So, I wouldn't recommend it for someone with low insulin production. The problem here is still Diet
You're yet to tell me any health benefits of smoking tho

LordReed:


There are, in low doses nicotine speeds up the growth of cells.

There's no safe level of exposure to tobacco and its component.

haddeylium:

Really? It's a common knowledge that sugar is a natural food and our body is built in a way it can convert this sugar into energy we need. Diabetic patients have a shortage of this insulin enzymes and have to put a watch to their Sugar intake.(The problem here is not the sugar but the diet)


There's no correlation between the two . Smoke is a poison. Smoking loads you up with toxic doses of carcinogens.
Human body is not built with an exhaust pipe or chimney unless you possess one
