Best Answer

The Bible makes no direct or indirect reference to smoking. However, the themes of avoiding damage to the body and avoiding needless waste of resources are present in the Law and Prophets and in the New Testament. Certain faiths have sharp views against smoking: Latter Day Saints (Mormons) ban it completely. Seventh Day Adventists teach strictly against it but members are free to make up their own minds. Quakers teach avoidance of smoking and addictions of all kinds. Most Christian groups and sub-groups have their own teachings and emphasis on this and related subjects.
