Is it a sin to smoke?

Understanding the Perspective on Smoking

In 1 Corinthians 6:12, it states, “Everything is permissible for me—but not everything is beneficial. Everything is permissible for me—but I will not be mastered by anything.” This assertion, particularly the part about not being dominated by anything, is often interpreted as support for the view that addictions, including smoking, can be seen as sinful from a Christian viewpoint.
