I ask a Priest that once. He told me that God cares more about what comes OUT of us then what goes in.

True. However, inhaling a poisonous substance that causes you to die of cancer is suicide and I think suicide is still considered a sin.

You know what? When it's my time to go, I don't think the Lord will care if I had smoked or not. When my number is up, it's up.

I need to take you comment in reverse order:

I think suicide is still considered a sin.

You are correct

inhaling a poisonous substance that causes you to die of cancer is suicide

You are incorrect. You are making a definitive statement here - there is no definite that smoking tobacco products is going to cause a person's death. Therefore smoking can't be considered suicide, ergo, not a sin.
