I don't smoke, but it seems to me that it's becoming more and more of a requirement to be absolutely perfect in order to be accepted by Christians as a Christian.
My neighbor smokes, and she went to church with another neighbor of ours and when she came back she was in tears.
She told me that when she got out of the car when they got to church, she lit up a cigarette. She smoked it while they walked thru the parking lot and disposed of it properly (there were no ashtrays, so she put it out and placed the butt in her cigarette pack).
After church, she said a bunch of people came up to her and scolded her for smoking, and that if she wanted to get to the kingdom of heaven she would have to treat her body as a temple....in other words, she was not welcome there as a cigarette smoker.
Is this something that's all over the place, or is it just a random thing here in my town?
