Smoking?

In a recent post, Stafford Carson notes

In its commentary on the Sixth Commandment, the Heidelberg Catechism says this:

Q. What does God require in the sixth commandment?

A. That I am not to abuse, hate, injure or kill my neighbour, either with thought, word or gesture, much less by deed, whether by myself or through another, but to lay aside all desire for revenge; and that I do not harm myself or willfully expose myself to danger.


His application is in regards to motorcycle racing, but surely this applies to whether or not the Christian has liberty to smoke.

Westminster Confession of Faith

I.VIII. The Old Testament in Hebrew (which was the native language of the people of God of old), and the New Testament in Greek (which at the time of the writing of it was most generally known to the nations), being immediately inspired by God, and by his singular care and providence kept pure in all ages, are therefore authentical; so as in all controversies of religion the Church is finally to appeal unto them. But because these original tongues are not known to all the people of God who have right unto, and interest in, the Scriptures, and are commanded, in the fear of God, to read and search them, therefore they are to be translated into the vulgar language of every nation unto which they come, that the Word of God dwelling plentifully in all, they may worship him in an acceptable manner, and, through patience and comfort of the Scriptures, may have hope.
