OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE:
Smoking is an addictive habit that is dangerous not only to the smoker but also to those around him or her. It is also a sin that God detests. You might think this is not true because it was not specifically mentioned in the Bible, but I can prove it to you.
Based on research, health practitioners have proven that cardiovascular diseases, cancer, et cetera, are associated with smoking cigarettes. Smoking also damages the blood vessels by making them grow narrower and thicker, which can lead to high blood pressure. Smoking cannabis, marijuana, or weed is even worse, as it often leads to psychiatric issues.
My dear child, God made you perfectly, and if you smoke, you will damage the body He gave you, which is a sin against Him. If, for instance, a fellow is meant to live for 90 years and he or she ends up living for 40 years because of the damage caused to his or her body as a result of smoking, such a person has shortened his or her lifespan, thereby reducing the degree of impact he or she was supposed to have on the earth.
KEY POINT
Smoking will damage your health, and it is a sin against God.
