The leaves of tomato can be dried and cured in the same manner.

People also smoke lettuce and cabbage.

While most tobacco haters don’t believe it, there is actually a market for cigarettes that are made from plants other than tobacco. It was rather embarrassing for the state of Delaware and the anti-smoker cartel to learn/realize this because they wrote the smoking ban law specifically to tobacco and couldn’t change it without admitting the ban had nothing to do with “smoke” but only with that from burning tobacco.

“Second hand smoke” is second hand smoke, regardless of the source. If these bans were about “health” all indoor burning of anything would be banned. Smoke from burning tobacco is no more harmful/deadly to those not partaking than the smoke from anything else burning, and probably less harmful than many things.

You obviously live in a bubble since you are so concerned about impurities you are inhaling being a sin.

I wasn’t even speaking of second hand smoke; I was speaking of first hand smoke. Though it is better you also respected your neighbor. To that end, the vapes are helpful if you are too weak to resist needing that fix. Complain about etiquette if you must, but shoving God into a corner is exactly what put this country into a curtailed-freedom fix with government presuming to do what only God can. Don’t try to put the Lion of Judah in a cage. He’ll break out and you’ll find Him purring in your ear again asking if you are ready to quit treating Him like a pole cat.

I’m trying to help you in TWO ways here if you’d quit being as allergic to God as some are to secondhand smoke. One way, I’ll give you enough space to smoke or vape yourself to death if you won’t listen to remonstration about how that disses the God who made you and sustains you and hopes to bless you. Not even God contends forever so why should I? The second way, I’ll show you a more excellent way that will explain why it’s good to make a break from the nicotine habit. God has no grudges and will save anyone who is willing to get out of their own little bubble onto His reality.
