Any idea how many Christians still smoke? We attend a really conservative Bible based church, but there’s a sign on the bathroom stall door -— “please do not smoke in bathroom”. Having said that, it doesn’t seem like a good idea for a pastor to do that in a church service. (Thank God my husband quit smoking several years ago, after having smoked for over 50 years!)

smoking is the bane of many a victim- once in it’s grips, it’s near impossible to overcome- they say it’s worse than trying to quit heroine- I was hooked for 40 years, and only quit when my asthma got too bad and breathing got more difficult- I “Tried” for years- but the fear of suffocating was what finally did it for me- unfortunately i quit too late- and have both copd and emphysema - not fun! God often times allows a person to reap the consequences of their decisions- He doesn’t always swoop in and remove the consequences- so people will struggle with one sin or another all their lives- they might not submit to the sin, but the lousy desire is still there-

I’ve been quit for 12 years now, and still i have cravings and dream of smoking- a nasty wicked plant tobacco- (especially after producers increased the nicotine content in em apparently)

Eternity: smoking or nonsmoking?
