Hab 2:15 Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!
Hab 2:16 Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD's right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory.

This verse gives clear indication of Gods thoughts on drunkenness. It also put paid to the claims of liberal christians that Jesus supplied the wedding guests at Cana with alcoholic wine.


1Co 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
1Co 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
1Co 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
1Co 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

As far as I know, smoking is not a subject directly dealt with in the Bible, but the principle of the the above verses can be applied to any self indulgent action that is harmful or debasing to your body, including intentionally sucking poison gasses into your lungs or intoxicating yourself with alcohol.

hope this helps,
