Is smoking prohibited in the Scriptures?

Answer From The Annual Reading Schedule - Week 24 Notes For Leviticus: 1 Corinthians 6:19 and 2 Corinthians 6:16 and other verses teach our bodies are the Set-Apart place of the Ruach HaQodesh (The Set-Apart Spirit). Nadav (Nadab) and Avihu (Abihu) died for bringing strange fire before Yahweh which He had not commanded them (Leviticus 10:1-2). It seems to me that we should not be doing something similar by bringing smoke from a strange fire into our bodies either. In addition to that, research on Pig 05049 shows cigarette filters are made sometimes with pig blood in them to aid in keeping out chemicals from the smoker's body. Yuck! Just go online and search for “Pig 05049” (without the quotes). Pig 05049 is a book that shows where one pig on one farm, a pig with the tag # of 05049, went into tons of different products when traced through from the farm to the end locations/products.

In addition, further research has revealed that smoking actually originated with native tribes in the America's, I think Central America's if I remember correctly. There were pagan rituals, customs, and beliefs even associated with Tobacco itself, and smoking was related to pagan customs and beliefs which I will not go into detail about because I don't want to expose you to evil things beyond what is necessary to make my point here – which is that I now believe smoking is of pagan origin. I now understand based upon the research I've done that smoking is similar to putting up a Christmas tree – in that it is, also, of pagan origin. If my memory serves me correctly, I remember while researching I read at one website that after the America's were colonized smoking eventually became a worldwide habit that spread from those pagan origins to Europe and then the whole world. The things I read, however, about the pagan beliefs related to smoking were very shocking to me and definitely made me feel like smoking was no different than putting up a Christmas tree because it would be partaking in a pagan custom and ritual that I now believe with certainty is displeasing to our Creator.
