If smoking ciggerettes was around at the time of Jesus would it have been classed a sin

Thank you for this post. People who are addicted to nicotine need all the help and encouragement they can get.

Nicotine is the most wonderful tranquilizer of any, the problem is that the way it soothes is gone in a flash and it becomes an irritant that can only be soothed by more nicotine. It makes the body crave nicotine.

I sincerely quit smoking at least 5,200 times, every night for over 20 hears, and started smoking that many times for my prayer life was taken up with a plea to be rid of the addiction. When I finally rid myself of it, it was because I had so overindulged a night I was so upset I back to back smoked. (The doctor had misdiagnosed by husband as being terminally ill) I landed in the hospital with nicotine poisoning.

I don't think there is any doubt smoking is no way to grow spiritually. Our body is a temple of God, not to be damaged with such smelly things. But our way of handling the addiction can be worse than the addiction itself.

About quitting smoking, the video below is one of Joyce Meyer. It is not intended to help anyone quit smoking, I am just including it so people get a sample of her understanding of the Word, then I will make the connection to quitting smoking.

One day I was in my home in Chicago when I turned on the tube to see this woman preaching. Wow! Can you imagine, a WOMAN preaching.

She told me, as I sat there smoking a cigarette, one of the three pack a day habbit I had, jst how to quit smoking. Now she was not referring directly to smoking, but to quitting any kind of sin, minor or major.

She said, want to honor our Father I should put my sin on the altar , that is the cross, and it will be consumed by fire creating a sweet aroma to our Father. The presence of the Holy Spirit was so strong and loving, I put out my cigasrette putting it on the Cross, and dI have not wanted to smoke since. That was after thirty years of habit, with a break of three years. I have not been near a cigarette since, that was twenty-seven years ago.

Now there are many who talk against this woman, but many talk against all saints, so that and a dollar will not get you a hamburger. I truly enjoy this woman, this sister, this saint. If people do not agree with her, well this has always been the case with the Entire Bible, so not to owrry about hearing her. The lord will be the understanding or you simply will not accept all.

Hi all dear brother and sisters. If smoking ciggerettes was classed as a sin, would you obey that law ?

Firstly there is no mention of smoking ciggerettes in our bible, so i can only assume they where not invented then.

However i need to ask the question, why is adultery the only sin you can commit against your own body.

KJ21
Flee fornication. Every other sin which a man doeth is outside the body, but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.


I have a strong belief that the five sences of the body all get defiled and polluted when you smoke cigerettes, thus making smoking ciggerettes a sin against the body (the flesh) which then gives a demon the ability to possess the flesh of the body. would this be the same for adultery,

I think Jesus knew one sows what they reap. Thus I do not think he would smoke.
I do not smoke. I do not think smoking is a sin since there is no command in scripture against it.
But, it is a very bad idea.

scary,, but 80 tons of tobacco is nothing compared to how much a nation consumes.

May i ask if you dont believe smoking cigarettes is a sin do you believe smoking could be temptation from the devil to defile your body.
