But I doubt that smoking is, in and of itself, objectively mortally sinful.
You DOUBT? LOL! I am absolutely CERTAIN that smoking, in and of itself, is not sinful in any way, shape or form.
What next? Is someone going to ask whether or not eating at McDonald's, while arguably unwise, is mortally sinful? Will we see a list of all McDonald's items with some kind of sin-rank next to each one?
McDonaldland Cookies...low-grade venial sin...
Six-piece McNuggets...mid-level venial sin...
Quarter Pounder Meal...high-level venial sin...
Any Super-sized meal...low-grade mortal...
Multiple Big Macs...just kill yourself now and burn forever you stultified glutton!
People, smoking -- IN SE -- is
NO SIN AT ALL.
