I don't - but I did. For many years. One can be a Christian and do lots of things....but - probably shouldn't. If it causes a brother to stumble, perhaps a Christian should think about quitting. I did. Eight months ago.

As a christan myself i find that if u do anything illegal that god wouldn't like it but that is y he forgives and forgets. As long as u are age appropiate then smoking or tobacco is ur own choice.

Best luck 4 u w god

Of course. To be a Christian, all you need to do is believe that Jesus Christ is God's Son and that he died on the cross to forgive our sins. There is no rule saying that you can't smoke. I do think that smoking is bad for you but you can still be a Christian and smoke.

Yes.
I am a Christian and smoked for a lot of years.
I just gave it up about 3 months ago because the cough was killing me.
I said a prayer saying, if you are listening. This smoking has to go because it is killing me. Therefore take it away for you are to care for me.
At that I stopped smoking and the cigarettes are no more.

The Bible strictly mentions that life is a beautiful gift from God that we must respect. Therefore any practices that we know is sure to ruin it, like smoking, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, or sky-diving as long as we're there, is wrong for a Christian. Think of Jesus' commandment, "Love your neighbor as yourself", how would that be respected with all the ugly harms of second-hand smoke, toward family, friends, coworkers, and especially children?

No, i think a Christian should not smoke, for smoking is harmful to the body. It is considerately an abuse to the body. The Lord commands us to be good stewards over our body. Therefore, we need to take good care and SAY NO TO DRUGS.

Sure why not? Every time one of you Christians cheat on your spouse, or "forget" to report income to the IRS and get caught you suddenly find a new found love for your faith that makes you a much better christian and person in general.

The question is are we slaves to God or bond-slaves? A bond slave loves his master so much they willingly become a slave.
When we love God that much the things of this world fall away into small things, such as tobacco.

Yes. The Bible does not forbid it. Nor does it clearly forbid alcohol (Jesus drank wine, as did several prophets).
Furthermore, even if you believe it is immoral to smoke, an addict who has found Jesus and is trying to improve him/herself is obviously a Christian, even if he/she has not yet kicked his/her tobacco habit.
