OB7Foreva:Let's consider God's view through his word the bible. Actually there are no where in his word that says do not smoke cigarettes, tobacco or marijuana. The godly principles will lead one to stop drug addicted habits. Manufactures of Cigarettes, Stated clearly Surgeon in general agreed that smokers are liable to die young. Every humans life comes from God, from him we come to exist Revelation 4:11, life is very expensive, could you imagine, you were given an expensive neck tie, and you decided to polish your shoes with it? Cigarettes has no medicinal value, cigarettes and tobacco smoking are injurious to health, therefore God goes on to say at 1 Corinthians chapter 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." The word of God made us to know that your body is the temple of God. Let's reason, when last did you smoke inside a church? being a building made by hand work of man.? If you had not once smoked in a church, then your body and a building which one is more precious to God? Scientific evidence continue to show that smoking kills more people than most wars combined together. Mostly you will claim you are not a slave to anyone, be aware that smokers are slaves to tobacco and cigarettes. 1: You find out that a smoker will be very hungry, he will opt to smoke than eat. 2: Many smokers can not easily pass bodily waste mostly early in the morning without smoking. 3: Most smokers are cigarettes thieves, you know what I mean, I was there ones. 4: Smokers lacked cognitive reasoning, always irritated. Basically the reason for one to give up smoking lays on the respect to the giver of life. Could you imagine Jesus Christ smoking or under the influence of drugs., exhorting people to repent for the kingdom of God is near. Let it be known that once in history smoking of cigarettes carries death penalty in England. 1 Like |

PREMIUM TIMES BANKING REPORT MAGAZINE ADVERTISEMENT Premium Times Nigeria The UN health agency warned that tobacco’s killer toxins also wreak havoc on the environment. Cigarettes Nigeria records nearly 30,000 tobacco smoking-related deaths- Research “Among the disease analysed, nearly 737,366 events are expected each year, of which 127,859 representing 17 per cent are attributable to cigarette consumption." ByAgency Report February 8, 2021 An Abuja-based Centre for the Study of Economies of Africa (CSEA) has reported that a research it conducted had revealed that 28,876 deaths related to tobacco smoking are recorded annually in Nigeria. Marco Castradori, a research associate with the CSEA, revealed this, on Monday, in Kano, at a report dissemination workshop on the health burden and economic cost of smoking in Nigeria. According to Mr Castradori, the number represents around 16 per cent of deaths from smoking-related diseases and above five per cent of all cases of deaths. “Among the disease analysed, nearly 737,366 events are expected each year, of which 127,859 representing 17 per cent are attributable to cigarette consumption. “In terms of costs, these conditions burden the Nigerian healthcare system with nearly N634 billion, of which 526.4 billion, representing 83 per cent are smoking-attributable treatment costs. “Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) represents the top cause of smoking-attributable mortality with 29 per cent, followed by Ischemic heart disease with 17.5 per cent, stroke with 13 per cent. “Other diseases include; passive smoking, 11.5 per cent, lower respiroatory tract infection 11 per cent, and also cardiovascular deaths of non-ischemic cause 5.5 per cent,’’ he said. He explained that smoking generates a direct annual treatment cost of N526.45 billion, which, he said, was equivalent to 0.36 per cent of the Nigerian GDP in 2019, and 9.63 per cent of the country’s annual healthcare spending. Person smoking cigarette used to illustrate the story “Furthermore, adding up productivity losses due to illness, early deaths and informal caregiver, tobacco-related diseases represents 0.44 per cent of the GDP,’’ said Mr Castradori. He added that the research had suggested that if the price of tobacco cigarettes were to be raised, by 50 per cent, the 23,838 deaths from the smoking-attributable diseases would be averted in 10 years. He said this would lead to subsequent savings on healthcare costs with increased tax revenue. “In Nigeria, the tobacco tax collection does not currently fully cover the direct healthcare costs attributed to smoking. We also supplement the quantitative analysis through focus group discussions with smokers across six Nigeria’s geopolitical zones. “Five major key themes emanated from the discussions with the participants include; psychological effect, stigmatisation, reduced productivity, fall in standard of living and change in physical health. “Overall, the result underscores the need for broader tobacco control policies in Nigeria through more tobacco taxes and other supplementary measures,’’ he said. Also, in her presentation, tagged ‘Effective tobacco control regulation in Nigeria: Assessment of Tobacco Taxation and illicit trade’, another research associate, Faiza Muntaka, said the pervasiveness of illicit tobacco products also represents a severe cost for the development efforts of the government. “This pervasiveness of illicit tobacco products not only harms the health of consumers by stimulating greater consumption of lower standard goods at affordable prices, but also represents a severe cost for the development efforts of the government. “A significant tax revenue reduction, approximated in the range of N12 billion, the loss of national productivity associated with morbidity and the increased healthcare costs all compound to pose a significant barrier to Nigeria’s development |

Chibuezem:Where did you get the claim in bold from? I ask because... 1. ...God's curse, not sins, is reason for why why human body is to perish in the end - Genesis 3 vs 16 - 22 2. ...Man was born from his parents a physical being(of clay of this earth) and not of spirit. According to Jesus Christ, it is only when He is saved - John 3 vs 1 - 8 - that he is born of Spirit. Also, how can that which is of the physical world be said to degrade that which is even of Spirit(eternal) - in what way does this degradation happen? It is foolishness to claim to be saved by Jesus Christ bit have absolutely no clue or knowledge of His teachings and commandments. |

MaxInDHouse:Who do you really refer to as "ourselves" because I'm a Christian but beg to differ from your point of view? If you find something or someone irritating to your being, you do well to avoid it rather than pass assuming myths in lieu of all. Smoking is not sin! While younger, the Irish and Portuguese reverend fathers we met were basically chronic smokers while still propagating evangelism relentlessly. A lot of people were converted to Christianity, anyway. It isn't everyone that smokes in uncompleted buildings neither do they go nude after smoking. Respect the rights of others, live and let's live. I had a lecturer who was a bad arse smoker. He was running about a pack (20 sticks) in less than a 2 hour class,we thought he would die before we do graduate . But alas, a lot of lecturers have died through accidents, village winch, medical complications and sorts but our smoky J is hale & hearty as at last month i bumped into him in Port Harcourt. Let's learn to mind our darm businesses and live let others live too. 1 Like |
