This depreciating of the value of the human body is not a Christian idea, but a Greek idea. We are to treat our bodies too as redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ. We look forward to the day when we will be clothed with our resurrection bodies, but in the mean time we are to treat God's creation with the utmost reverence and respect as good stewards of all He has given us. If you are in bondage to this habit, please read the cancer society list that follows - 20 good reasons to stop smoking. And please consider your duty before God to live according to His revealed will out of gratitude for what He had done for us in our precious Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ.
Christians can be addicted to substances.
And when someone took up smoking many years ago, these health risks were unknown. This too should be part of our response to smoking, both within the church community and outside it. Tobacco smoke contains at least 50 known toxic or cancer forming substances. Smoking is linked to cancer of the lung, mouth, larynx and oesophagus. Nine out of ten lung cancer deaths are due to smoking.
