I think this is a wide gate and narrow gate scenario.
If you drink, smoke and go all the worldly ways you're only going to find destruction.
By whatever means of whether it's a sin or not isn't the question. If you're never sober, you're not going to be able to effectively move in the manifestation the Spirit has for you and if you're smoking you're making yourself susceptible to conditions which can harm you. Smoking does damage to your body and the Lord's intentions for you are for you to be healthy and to prosper. You're only hindering yourself.

I disagree. How do you know " it's going to remain that way " ? Did the Lord tell you so ? Aren't you limiting greatly the Lord's Power to change things ? No, it's not going to remain that way. But people have to get united and do their part together once and for all, and the Lord will help greatly beyond any human expectation !

An occasional drink is not the same thing as smoking a cigarette in the first place ! Cigarette is a silent killer who kills you day by day from the inside and who is greatly reducing your immune system, health, and quality of life.
Smoking a cigarette is like a day by day suicide. Sad thing is a suicidal person may say exactly the same kind of sentence you said here. But instead of smoking a cigarette in the sentence, it would be jump off the cliff for instance.
Never kill yourself in any way; AFTER ALL YOU CARE FOR YOUR LIFE, DON'T YOU ?

Cigarette smoking is symbolic of blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.
But it's not the blasphemy itself.
Getting incurable cancer from it is symbolic of blasphemy of the Holy Spirit not being forgiven.
Not being able to stop is symbolic of how hard it is to stop blaspheming the Holy Spirit.
This doesn't mean that smokers blaspheme the Holy Spirit, often times the earthly symbolism is manifested in an opposite community. It's an instructional example.
Either way, it's still a transgression, and I still smoke.
But it's not the blasphemy itself.

to put it bluntly :
You are killing yourself !
Please stop doing it ! For your own sake at least !
And let me tell you cigarette smoking has nothing to do
in any way with the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit !
