Anyway, I know God is not happy with my smoking. I used to buy them by the carton, now I purchase them by the pack because I ve thrown many away out of guilt. Although my intent is not to kill myself, I know that this behavior could eventually lead to an early death. Please be as frank and open as possible in your response. Dear Angela, I doubt whether God would consider smoking an act of suicide any more than he would the consumption of preservatives and pesticide-laden processed foods.
Smoking is undeniably unhealthy that has been established beyond doubt.
But smoking is not an activity, per se, that keeps one out of heaven, any more than there is an activity that gets one into heaven. The kingdom of heaven is given, by God s grace, not by what we do or do not do. Suicide is generally considered, in the Bible, and by historic Christianity, as murder. No act of suicide in the Bible is given God s approval. However, some have speculated that suicide is the worst sin or that it is the unpardonable sin.
