Nobody lives or dies unto themselves. Who we are and what we do effects the lives of other people. Decisions made in Washington, D.C., effect the nation. Smokers not only risk the length and quality of their lives, but also that of others. Smoking is now restricted to certain areas.
People recognize the danger and prefer to work and live in a smoke free environment.
Drinking complicates the lives of thousands of innocents. We are not islands. We live in an interpersonal and interconnected world in which people, for better or for worse, effect the living of others. Jesus recognized this when He spoke of the Christian's influence in the world. Sin putrefies many of even the most noble endeavors of mankind.
