Lazarus The Resurected mistressofthelost tacit_tourniquet I dont mind if someone smokes, but i would never date someone who smokes stare Don't knock it 'til you try it. *huggles* i love this girl. Hehe, yay! My boyfriend smokes and honestly, it's not bad at all. I don't see a problem with smoking. Then again...I don't see a problem with drinking or drugs EXCEPT for the whole illegal thing...but I'm not getting into that.

Victum Soul Lazarus The Resurected Victum Soul Lazarus The Resurected exactly, it is complicated. What brother Laz doesn't understand is that I can use scripture or his so-great-majesty 'LOGIC' . And yet thus far, you have failed to do either prefering to focus on side issues and ohter beefs instead. You talk a big game Mr. Soul but you fail to back it up. Victum Soul Scripture commands us to keep God's temple clear, science proves smoking can cause cancer. Making the connection? I think even a 5 year old kid could unerstand this, and Laz, you're very intelligent, dude. Insult again?Damn, Vic, the maturity level is not only brought down by me. But, I will comend you on finaly coming out with a little backing for your arguments. You can point out which verses next time though it might be a good idea. As i have said before there are plenty of other things that impede our health as much as, or more that smoking. so should i stop eating fast food, living in cities and breathing in general? (it has been shown that oxigen over time does in fact deteriorate internal organs. As we age we actually die of the oxidization of our own bodies) I understand you have to breath, I even understand you have to eat a burger everynow and then, I can understand you might need to have fast food when you're in a hurry somethime... but do you have to smoke? yes, yes i do have to smoke. because now that i have started i am addicted and personally i prefer smoking to nicotene withdrawl. also like i mentioned before it's actually bad for my heatlth if i quit i run a bigger risk of lung infection and i really don't want pnumonia again. But I think you could be healed without having to smoke. I understand you, because one of my uncles has the same problem. Though, I've seen people quit smoking with the help of God, and He gives them health. I think you should consider that. i probably should but i won't. see i have asked God to take my addiction from me more than once allready, the problem is i don't have the strength of conviction to actually want to stay quit. when i want to i'll make sure and ask God for help. until then, let me smoke in peace.

Yeah. The bathtub stuff scares me. I've seen it made before and...well...after seeing what all goes in it, I have no desire to do it.

But yeah, that's over.
I quit drugs a little over a year ago, and have been sober since.
Aside from drinking and smoking cigarettes every now and then(the former moreso....WAY moreso, though no beer, as that tastes like s**t).
And I don't care what anyone says, I'm not quitting drinking unless God himself strikes thunder upon me and tells me "James Kirk Otero, you dumb sunuvabitch, if you don't quit I'll smite you so hard it'll make a prison shower feel like a country club".

I don't think it's a sin.
But I do think God wants us to take care of our bodies, so it's best to not smoke. I don't look down on people for smoking. Surely I do things that aren't good for my body. Too many cheeseburgers, that's my cigarette.
I find it comical that I love the smell of most cigs, even though I didn't grow up around them. My mom coughs around them, I breath in deeply.
It's pretty funny. (by breath in deeply I mean I just enjoy the smell a bit, I'm not around cigs enough that they should do much damage).

Amusingly enough, that's what got me into cigarettes in the first place.
As well as blacks/dutches.

Your choice.
I don't want to smoke, I don't plan on smoking. But if you want to do it then do it, I'm not stopping oyu.

Personally, I can't stand smoking at all.
Leaving the fact that it's illegal for me to smoke out of the argument... I don't like the look, smell, effects, or anything about it. I think that it's a pathetic way to look cool, just like other drugs, drinking, and cursing. However, I don't personally view it as a sin. It's more like one of those things where it's not good for you, but you won't go to Hell if you do it. There was never a commandment telling us not to smoke. However, if you remember the verses:
"Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own, you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body."
I can't think of the reference for those verses right now, but I hope you've heard them.
I don't really have anything against people who smoke, and I find it hard to find something against people who do weed. I don't find either a particularly intelligent thing to do to your body, but I have members of my family who do both, so I find it hard to find something against them. But, I don't find my uncle who smokes weed to be intelligent or responsible, and all the people I have known who are smokers waste tons of money on "cancer in a stick" and wonder why they don't have the money to buy stuff that their kids want.
Smoking isn't a sin in my opinion, but neither is drinking, doing harder drugs, or cursing, but it's one of those "don't do it if it may cause your brother to stumble" type of thing.
So, if I knew someone who had just been saved from a smoking addiction, I wouldn't light up a cigarette around them. And if I knew that smoking was a temptation for somebody, I wouldn't even think of bringing them in that kind of environment.

morsusmihi I think that smoking is something that should be avoided. It makes you smell bad, it doesn't look cool, and it is a major cause of cancer. 3 of my grandparents smoked and the only one that's alive is the one that didn't. My brother and sister-in-law smoke and my sister-in-law tried to quit and while doing that she walked past a smoker and had a coughing fit because of the smell. My dad smokes and it makes me feel horrible that I won't have as much time with him because he's cutting his life short. It is a horrible habbit that I am glad I have decided to keep myself from doing. Oh...and DieiNoctis...smoking is not the coolest looking bad habbit on earth...it is one of the worst things that you can do to yourself. I agree. My grandmother died from lung cancer and she was a smoker. Both of my parents used to smoke, but my mom and dad quit right before they decided to start a family. Two of my uncles still smoke, and its very hard to see people that I love so much hurting themselves.

firedoom smoking is very bad and i do smoke myself! i prey to God to forgive me! I am trying to quit smoking! Nicotine makes it hard to quit. It's an addictive substance. But you just need to take some herbal stuff and you should be fine. It's hard to quit. I don't smoke, my mum does, my dad did...my bf does. It doesn't really bug me all that much. It's there decision and it can relieve stress. There is really nothing that I can say or do about it...
