| Question:
I know it's a sin to smoke, but what does the Bible say about taking pills
to help you quit? Does it matter as long as you quit?
|

Response:
I believe that it is wrong to smoke. Not only does it harm your body,
which is the temple of the Lord, but it also hinders your ability to be
an effective witness for the Lord. Even unsaved society realizes that
smoking isn't good for you, so a Christian puffing on a cigarette is
certainly not going to have much of an impact for Christ. The Bible
does not say it is wrong to take pills in order to quit. However, the
Bible tells me that "greater is He that is in you than he that is in the
world" (I John 4:4). I believe that the Holy Spirit indwelling someone
can enable him to overcome anything that the world throws in his path,
even alcohol, drugs, or cigarettes.
