I have several friends/family members who are smokers but I don't approve of it. I think it's unhealthy and unsafe, and I also find it somewhat disrespectful of those around. So I prefer, if someone is going to smoke, for them to smoke not in the presence of other folks. It often bothers people, and for some it can induce Asthma or allergy attacks or other health related issues so I think that it is respectful to keep it away from other folks. Of course I would love for my friends/family to quit simply because it's unhealthy, but I know quitting is hard so I love them as they are and just pray they quit, for their own health and the health of those around them. As for it being a sin, personally I feel it is because it's harming your body which is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and it's also an addiction and costs money that could be used in a wiser way. But with that said, there are many things that the same could be said of, so I am in no position to judge someone for smoking when clearly, there are things in my own life that I could say are just as sinful.
What does that mean, if I may ask?i dont think its right. its a bondage.
That's for sure. I quit and still have a cough with weezing!Im curious too!! But I won't smoke at all. Smells disgusting and gives you cancer
Thanks for explaining that brinny, it is so true! I am now set free Praise Jesus!I don't smoke, never have, but i don't hate smokers. It's an addiction/habit like any of the many others we are all prone to. An "addiction" can very well be a "bondage" in that it has a "hold" of us, keeps in a grip/prison, so to speak. That's what bondage is, being "chained" to it and needing to be set "free".
