I was really not referring to this thread but to the Bible Discussion Forum as a whole. Through the years I have seen members viscously maligned because their views were contrary to the views of another. I am sorry you took offense to my posts as it was not my intent to harm. In my profile page is a list of those that I follow. It is a rather short list. It is a list of peeps that do show love in my estimation. You are on that list.

I know when the devil or one of his demons is tempting, i totally know the mindset of fallen cheribum there powers and abilities the lot, when a demon cheribum is tempting you to do something like having a cigarette then theres a reason for it.. Its more than just sin, infact we should forget smoking is a possible sin for now, and call it temptation from a demon to gain a foothold on the intended victim.
Its sad to me that people cant recognise temptation, theres so many christians on this forum that dont recognise temptation. To them the idea of having a cigarette is perfectly exceptable and perfectly there own thought to no doubt. then seeing people use scripture to suit there own needs is another way how temptation works, i know the glorified language of temptation from demons i know how to beat them how to identfy them i can see them, i can even smell them. thats right demons have a smell too. i know everything about them, and how to beat them, only through a life of abuse do i know this, im definately most qualified here.
The reality is that when people dont know when there thoughts are being tricked by temptation then they wil never know there enemy. and chritianity will never be the faith it should be, which is a faith that defeats spiritual wicked forces.

Hate to think what the smog , pollution and other stuff in the air does to ones lungs , especially in China ...
All that goes into our bodies to...
We all have something we are addicted to , we must take the log out from our own eye before we can see the splinter in someone else's eye...

P.S...I enjoy vaping , and my lungs are as clear as a good healthy whistle...

This really is not good advice @Rosemaryx the most most important part of being a christian is to have faith in Jesus, not addiction. addiction (nicotene controls a persons temperament (your nature and nerves) it should be the fruits of the spirit that control your nature not nicotene. this is the one thing certain of vapor pens.
2: Research Suggests Vaping Is Bad for Your Heart and Lungs
Nicotine is the primary agent in both regular cigarettes and e-cigarettes, and it is highly addictive. It causes you to crave a smoke and suffer withdrawal symptoms if you ignore the craving. Nicotine is also a toxic substance. It raises your blood pressure and spikes your adrenaline, which increases your heart rate and the likelihood of having a heart attack.
Is vaping bad for you? There are many unknowns about vaping, including what chemicals make up the vapor and how they affect physical health over the long term. “People need to understand that e-cigarettes are potentially dangerous to your health,” says Blaha. “Emerging data suggests links to chronic lung disease and asthma, and associations between dual use of e-cigarettes and smoking with cardiovascular disease. You’re exposing yourself to all kinds of chemicals that we don’t yet understand and that are probably not safe.”
3: Electronic Cigarettes Are Just As Addictive As Traditional Ones
Both e-cigarettes and regular cigarettes contain nicotine, which research suggests may be as addictive as heroin and cocaine. What’s worse, says Blaha, many e-cigarette users get even more nicotine than they would from a tobacco product — you can buy extra-strength cartridges, which have a higher concentration of nicotine, or you can increase the e-cigarette’s voltage to get a greater hit of the substance.
