Yes, you can still be a Christian and smoke, however God desires that we live a happy, healthy, prosperous life and quitting smoking would be a good thing for any Christian. We have collected many questions and answers here at WCWTK.

Does smoking forfeit our salvation?

Nobody is exempt from this. Smoking will not forfeit our salvation but we will definitely be held accountable by God if others stumble because of us. If one is truly a Christian, he may continue to smoke but will feel a very strong desire to quit, because he knows it is affecting both his health and his testimony.

Another argument against this view of smoking is that many godly men have been smokers, such as the famous British preacher C.H. Spurgeon, who was known to smoke cigars.

Do any famous Christians smoke cigars?

One of the greatest preachers and evangelists of the 19th century loved his cigars. He was Charles Spurgeon. Other famous Christians who smoked or still do are J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S.
