Why claim that smoking is not a sin?

[Aragon]

There's no better way to start the day than by scrambling a few eggs, making a big mug of coffee and puffing on a nice cigarette. Fortifies you for the day ahead.

I smoke Canadian classic regulars....as far as American, I like marlboro lights

As Justin Bieber is to Frank Sinatra, so are Marlboros to Shermans (nonfiltered, that is)

Well this last bit is doing a good job of answering my question.  It looks like people who smoke want to claim that smoking is not a sin so they don't have to think about the possibility they should change their behaviour.  Smoking might not always be a sin, but it is sometimes and anyone who smokes ought to examine his conscience.

If someone is concerned, they can ask their confessor and proceed with moral certitude based on the answer.

When asked, my confessors, both NO and traditional priests, have always said it is fine.  So in my case, it means I get to light up with a clear conscience.   :pipe: :smokin:

Same here.
