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.

https://www.britannica.com/list/7-of-the-worlds-deadliest-plants

According to Britannia, tobacco is most dangerous plant known. There are other plants which are poisonous ,will you take them.

Sugar is food substance just as lipid etc. Water as well. Excess of even natural foods is bad. One of fruitage of holy spirit is self-control. Gal 5:28,29.
Even greediness is a sin. 1 cor 6:9-11.

Smoking weed or anything is a habit not a sin but if you smoke any substance to the point that it destroys your body or has negative effect on your brain or any part of your body then you are destroying GOD'S temple which is your body and that makes it a sin.

Firstly, Smoking is a degrading action that harms and defiles a person’s body. Paul reminded the Corinthian that Christians must cleanse themselves of ‘every defilement of the flesh’.

“2 Corinthians 7:1 Therefore, since we have these promises, beloved ones, let us cleanse ourselves of every defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God”

It's a common knowledge that smoking is very addicting. It contains nicotine acts as a stimulant as well as a depressant. Smoking delivers nicotine to the brain quickly and repeatedly.


Smoking is lethal and being enslaved to any lethal habit that enslaves someone is not the best way to give your ‘all’ to almighty God.
Smoking kills at a faster rate than coronavirus. Averagely, 6millons people die every year because of this habit.

God teaches us to have a proper view of our life, our body, and our faculties. His Son, Jesus, pointed to this when he said:

“You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.” Matthew 22:37

Clearly, God wants us to make good use of our life and body and to treat them with respect.

If you want to learn about the true God and his promises and what he has done for us. Even, tips on how to overcome the addiction (if any). Visit JW.ORG
so what if we don't smoke it.
What if we cook with it?

It is not what goes into the body that defiles us but what comes out. If you smoke and rape, steal, fight, kill that is when it's a sin..We are too religious in Africa.. because we don't trust ourselves..

Alot of people will tell you smoking helps them relax,forget thier sorrows etc...my question is where is it recommended that the best way to relax or forget sorrow is by smoking?I think Anything that you engage in that is harmful and cause irreparable damage to your body should be considered sin.

Well God's people won't come telling you not to smoke!
But in our midst it's a sin because as ministers of the Good News we must make ourselves approachable always! Isaiah 32:1-2

So we do have neighbours, colleagues and friends who are smokers but in the congregation we don't have pollutants.
That's why it's a SIN in our midst! smiley

Well, going by your argument with @LordReed, the Reverend Martin Luther King Junior is presently burning in Hell and would burn so forever as he was a known smoker in his life time.

Somehow, by your reckoning, he would be so punished for his smoking sin irrespective of the good his campaign for civil rights and social justice did.

The God that made that body said you lie. This since He made it clear over 2000 years ago that it is not what you ingest that defiles you(sin). It is instead what comes out of what you have stored up inside of your heart that does so. undecided

Whether you smoke or not, that body of yours will die when it is time for it to die and rot. God is not particularly concerned about the human body in the way you seem. What matters is whether or not you obeyed God's teaching and commandments to you through Jesus Christ or not. Your eating and smoking history has nothing to do with anything. undecided

morally its a sin, legally its not. So it depends on which side you are. If you re the moral type, you ll find it to be a sin.... If you re on the roller coster side, you ll find it as no big deal. So it depends on who you are

I think what you should be concerned more about is your health. because even if it's a sin, that's not the only sin you commit as there are several other unknown sins that only take a toll on your spiritual life but smoking will not only kill you spiritually but increase your chances of dying physically by 80%

Morality has nothing to do with Jesus Christ hence it is not of God to you. undecided

Sin is as defined by God . Morality is as defined by men. undecided

Jesus even turn water to wine, but our fanatical Christian over here will claim it's not acholic. Like they are the MC that tasted the fine wine.

Smoking is not a sin unless you get intoxicated. Any behavior that predisposes you to sin or to lose your rational ability to resist sinful urges is sinful.

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.
