To Smoke Or Not To Smoke?

Are there any references in God's Word on smoking?

Is it right or wrong?

What do you think?

To Smoke Or Not To Smoke?

Heres my two cents;)

Smoking is an addiction to nicotine. There are some who are addicted to pornography, drinking or even glutony. These things are easy to fall into. I smoked for 15 years, it helped soothe my nerves I thought but I was dependant on it actually. Twelve years ago my lungs collapsed and I almost died. There were other factors that contributed to the illness but the doctors said my lungs were like celophane left out in the sun. Needless to say, I couldnt smoke any more. God took away every desire for smoking and I'm so greatful. What I wanted to share was that if God is doing a work in our lives, eventually the desire will be dealt with. Likewise other issues in our lives. I would be wary of people that say it is ok because its a compromise. Makes you wonder where else do they compromise. (Just a thought) All in all, we all have something we're trying to give up or stop falling into whether it's office gossip or some addiction. I know prayer works, keep praying for your friend. God will show him His heart on the smoking.

Blessings,
