Hmmmmm, so inhaling substances known to be not only toxic, but carcinogenic doesn't reprsent a danger to one's health? You're talking crazy.

Smoking a few cigarettes every once in a while represents a significant danger to one's health?

Smoking a cigarette may not make one sick for years,...

My point.

...but it is never a helathy habit,...

Habit means regular use.

...and in the end taxes the system.

Depends how much. Occassional cigarette use represents an insignificant health risk.

Not evil?

Not intrinsically.

One could make the argument that since the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, that putting a substance known to be not only toxic but carcinogenic is also immoral.

Yes, if used in dangerous volumes. The situation is analogous to alcohol use, which Jesus OK'd (see the wedding feast of Cana).

Which of the ten commandments do you advocate be legislated?

Exactly. One cigarette never killed anyone. The same cannot be said for one act of homosexual sodomy.

I think one make the same argument about the occassional "rogering" too - so as long as a homosexual only has anal sex, let say, once a month, is it now ok, according to this standard?
