You can, although i dont know why you would want to suck on 3000 hazardous chemicals that will kill you.
Bible says the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and not to defile it
Bible says to study to.shew thyself approved a workman who needeth not to be a shamed.... you should really study what goes into cigarettes before putting it into your body.
You can also study the outcome of smoking through resources available a brief list includes cancer (multiple varieties) heart disease, heart attacks, lung disease, strokes.
In reality smoking is like commiting suicide except instead of a quick one like hanging or a gun shot to the head, its a slow painful one costing tax payers billions of dollars a year.

While addiction is a possibility, there are benefits to the use of nicotine and caffeine for some people, and not everyone who smokes becomes an addict to the point smoking would become an idol and thus a sin.
My son both smokes and uses caffeine which helps with his severe ADHD. He prefers doing that then taking Ritalin all the time now that he's an adult. He's just learned to deal more naturally.
While there may be consequences to that in his future it is in the end his choice to make.

I recall the story of the pastor who shared about his first church in CA, the youth would meet on the beach and swim, then a hotdog roast where he taught on the evils of smoking, the next church was in the south, supported by tobacco farmers, where the lead pastor ground out his cigarette on the way in to preach about the evils of boys and girls swimming together.
I've read of the caffeine of a cup of coffee as a good replacement for amphetamines as treatment for hyperactivity.
It's funny how some react differently to those substances.
A few common causes of various hyperactivity disorders are:
-childhood vaccines
-food sensitivities
-food dyes & preservatives
-sugar
Some people find relief by avoiding these and detoxifying properly.

When you die you'll spend eternity with him. Why smoke at all? And hasten that eventuality?
And poison the air around you and put everyone at risk due to the second hand smoke you expel? 😟
When you buy cigarettes you're buying cancer. All manner of cancer. Throat,mouth,lung,brain. It all just depends on where it shows up and starts eating you alive. Because you smoke. No matter how little.
The only thing cigarettes do for the body is give you cancer, starve the body of oxygen and kill it slowly.
Ephesians 4:22,24 "You lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and you have put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth."
Why would you contaminate the lungs in your body temple?
First hand, second hand, third hand: With Cigarette Smoke No Hand Is Safe
Stop smoking! God gave you life. Don't give it back like that.😔🙏
