The Cigarette package carries a warning label that says, Hazardous to your health.
YES. Do not defile the temple of God.

The main argument to this question is that smoking is harmful to the body. And that is an obvious fact. But then again, is a McDonalds cheeseburger healthy either? Of course not. So why do the people at my local church condemn smoking, but meet at McDonalds following every Wednesday night service? I find it slightly hypocritical. Instead of condemning someone else, make that decision for yourself using the Scripture, and let others do the same for themselves.

Ultimately, yes. In a way, though, all of us defile the temple of our bodies anytime we do anything unhealthy. The pizza I had last week counts, as does the aggressive driving I committed this morning.

Baby steps, the acceptance of Jesus into their heart is the beginning in their journey with the Holy Spirit that will attend to that practice in its level of importance. There may be other more pressing issues that God is interested in first.
In your eyes new believers must be instantly perfect and open target for your ridicule.

1Cr 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
1Cr 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Yes we are - I quit smoking six months ago and I've never felt better - who knew, all this time God only wanted what was best for me!
Ain't He great?

Yes I believe so, doesn't it talk about this in 1st Corinthians?
The same goes for masturbation.

I don't think so, didn't God invent tobacco?
