Many begin smoking or chewing in order to fit in with the crowd. There is an appealing image which tobacco companies impress on young minds. Young people do not try smoking or chewing because they have a natural craving for cigarettes or chew. But they are also designed to fool people into trying the product. The second motive for many to smoke or chew is caused by a lack of self-control.
Tobacco products contain a drug called nicotine.
When nicotine gets into the system, it makes you want more, and soon the user becomes addicted. Because of this, it takes a lot of self-control to break a tobacco habit. Tobacco then controls the user. Both of these motives for using tobacco are condemned in the Bible. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
