Wasn't going to post in this thread then someone liked an old post of mine in it and blah blah blah blah...
Anyways I still stand by what I said before "the wages of sins is death" it doesn't mean that if you get alchohol or smoke into your system that it's counted necessarily as outright sin but continual use of any potentially hazardous substance can lead to death,not any one bit typically(excluding very immediately harmful substances such as poorly made moon shine that can kill or cause blindness) it can be about the same as eating something "unhealthy" which as is told in many scriptures in the old testament that either way it's sin but "bondage to sin" is rather different that's when God gets "upset" or "intentional sin" after God helps a person(read on the Israelites they did this plenty) anything that can "trap" you into delaying servitude to God/Jesus is best to seriously consider "getting away from".
Smoking is nothing more than a "tool" for sin it's the "individual" that can "make it a sin" and "choose to make it a crutch" or "treat it as something that is not important".
For example often men after delivering a child would smoke a cigarette as a "calmer" but not "make it important to their life" anyone can do the same or if one is in this sin they can be free of it through Jesus or sometimes with "enough motivation".
My main point is still "you can stop" giving "tools of sin importance in your lives" sin is everywhere but when it comes to "material objects" one must remember "if you can make it or buy it then you can forsake it" because they have "no power on their own".
