I don't really know what to think about the subject. I'll give my own answer in a minute. By the way, I do not smoke, nor do I intend to smoke..I find the smell itself disgusting. In Sunday School, this question was asked, and one little girl perked up, "Yes! The Bible calls our body the temple...(short rant)...and we're supposed to take care of it, while cigarettes damage the body, etc." - I suppose she is right, but confrontation comes to the argument when I think about my grandpa. My grandpa was nearing 80 before he passed away, and smoked cigarettes almost his entire life. I refuse to believe that he sinned every time he smoked a cigarette, because had he dropped his habit, the withdrawals would have killed him at his age. Now, I understand there are substitutes, and I don't really know what the answer is concerning those.
My answer: There's not clear-cut answer. It's one of those things that more about conviction, in my belief. Who am I to judge?
At any rate, what do you think?
