We hope to see you as a part of our community soon and God Bless!
PS: As a means to cutting down and/or eliminating some of the side effects it might be worthwhile; it's also inexpensive and can provide some probably safer nicotine hits that it sounds like you as a long term thing have become very accustomed to and in that sense need, I suppose. I don't have the need any more; but from what you describe you still seem to; but it's up to you whether you try it as an alternative to keeping going back to cigarettes.
PS: Well this seems a strong argument, right?
So are you able to get your supplies satisfactorily?

Every time. Within 3 days, and many times in 2. I do not have to order often at all.
Seems to work for you, anyway, and by @Heart2Soul 's 'like' on post #19 she appears to agree that what you said earlier about vaping being a likely source of effective nicotine hits without most of the usual side effects from cigarettes.
I'm sure, from what I've heard;
Some never started smoking.
Some do not want to be called a Quitter.
I am curious if people find a difference in breathing IN, smoke from incense, smoke from a campfire, or smoke from tobacco.
God Bless,

Farouk, I'm sorry it took me so long to get to this thread. I saw you... "Tagged" me I think it's called? Someone will have to explain to me some day how that is done! Also how to have an on-site link to exact bible verses - that has been very helpful in the posts of those who know how to do it!
I quit smoking for 3 months with a Greensmoke ecig! Unfortunately, I had some stress and began again for almost 5 months now. But I am currently charging all of the batteries so I will be ready to start on it again. I felt so much better for that 3 months! But, I am not convinced that smoking is a sin. I think it might rather be one of those: all things are legal for me but not all things are profitable -that the apostle mentions.

Interesting perspectives, some of which I had not thought of in this connection.
Okay so, in response re. several points that you raise:
To link with someone, put the @ sign in front of the name, as in: @stunnedbygrace .
Personally I would have thought that you'll find that it's far healthier psychologically and spiritually to be a confidently smoking Christian woman who is able progressively to cut down and maybe someday even quit, rather than feel guilt-manipulated but out of control with cigarettes. I don't need any nicotine now, but some ppl clearly still do feel they need some; and interestingly @Nancy in post #9 above seems very strongly to advocate vaping as a safer and preferable way to get the nicotine without tar, with inhales that she seems to indicate are very satisfactory according to her.
@VictoryinJesus, @bbyrd009 , FYI, did you see this recent thread and poll?
@VictoryinJesus ; I saw your poem from a while ago about trying to quit smoking.

Interesting point; hadn't considered it before...
The great preacher C H Spurgeon smoked, as it happened... (so don't feel guilt-manipulated...)

well, the incense was probably didn't have too much smoke associated with it. The candles used olive oil, not sure what levels of smoke came from that and the smoke of the altars dissipated in the dessert air
I was thinking like a chimney situation. It doesn't all dissipate up the chimney and in the air. Your house becomes smoky and dusty...
Interesting point!
More broadly, it sort of illustrates that there are advantages to smoking outdoors, as you would know.

The altar was outside the building in the open air.
By the way, chimney's in houses only smoke if the internal proportions retard drawing because of poor design or building or the flue is not high enough and or too close to the ridge of the house.
A well designed and built chimney will throw out heat and draw up smoke.
