Supporting arguments
God communicated this commandment to Joseph Smith, a divinely inspired prophet, which is documented in Doctrine and Covenants 89:1-21. [1]
- Related argument: The Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price are inspired scripture.
- Related argument: Joseph Smith was a divinely inspired prophet.
Christians are commanded to respect their earthly bodies, and tobacco's harmfulness hinders that goal. [2]
- Related argument: It is sinful to harm one's own body or engage in risky behavior.
Opposing arguments
As long as smokers behave considerably around others to avoid inconveniencing them, there is no moral reason Christians shouldn't smoke. The Bible doesn't mention smoking. [3]
