I need to stop smoking menthols because they're killing me (quite literally, I have asthma), but I don't want to waste my 15 remaining cigarettes by throwing them away. Being wasteful is a sin. So, would it be a sin to throw them away? My heart says no, but my brain says yes. A pack of Kool Filter Kings cost 4 dollars; and I'm pretty close to broke. Is it a sin?

Definitely quit! I wish I could. But give the extra ciggies to a less determined smoker so that you don't waste your money.

No it wouldn't be a sin to throw a pack of cigarettes, smoking is bad for your health anyway it causes cancer, lung, throat, voice box cancer,mouth cancer. So no its not a sin to throw away a pack of cigarettes.

People who throws away there cigarettes always goes back and buys them again. If you are 15 then who is buying you cigarettes? Bad idea right there. You need to stop and by doing that you need to tell yourself not to get any more. If you are somehow addicted to it now, tell your parents, and they need to help you stop. Another thing is save the money you have and buy a pack of nicoten to help you stop if you don't wants your parents to know. Good luck and try to stop.

Waste not, want not...ever heard of that? It would be more of a sin if you give the filthy poison to someone and if you are really worried about what god is going to think how did you get started contaminating the body which holds your blessed spirit anyway? Heres an idea Bury the ciggs. in the ground and mother earth will take care of the rest.PS. Remove the plastic outer wrapping before burial as it isn't very bio-degradable.

I don't believe quiting smoking and throwing cigarettes way is a sin.....Also, your lungs say, "NO!" I just quit.......(31 days) and I feel better already. If throwing them away is a sin, "slowly killing yourself by smoking," has gotta trump that! Hopefully, I'll live longer, but I don't know about "falling off the wagon," and this is the longest I've quit in over twenty years.....Good luck!

It's not a sin to throw them a way, get rid of them now. If you feel bad just throwing them away give them to a homeless man, or just leave in somewhere on the street and if anyone is looking for them, they will find them.

When the Lord moved my heart to quit smoking because of my health, I had some cigarettes left, too. I smoked them not wanting to 'waste' them. I am more than sure that God would rather I have threw the rest away than to continue to smoke after He asked Me not to. The conviction I felt in my heart after each successive cigarette made me realize that.
If something is killing you, it's never a waste of time or money to get rid of it.

You are using SIN as an excuse to not quit smoking. Do yourself a major favor. QUIT NOW.!! This advice is from a person with Athsma and smoked for 40 years. After spending a month in the hospital and now am on oxygen 24/7 I learned my lesson the hard way. I now have athsma plus COPD which will only progressively kill me.

I decided to stop smoking and said that when the cigarettes I had were gone, that would be it. Well, so far so good, (5 weeks). If you do this, you don't have to throw them away!
Good luck!!
