There was always smoking at the potlucks I grew up going to at the Presbyterian church. In the church kitchen no less.

Well, it all depends. Here in Tennessee, some churches are death on smoking or drinking by anyone. Still, some guys up at the little southern Baptist church in this area stand outside and smoke. At another Baptist church up the road, strangely, a majority of the women stand out front and smoke before services. Again, strangely, most of their husbands have been smokers but quit a good while back. That one is a small rural church where the older people there started smoking as teenagers or younger, before the more enlightened elite made it politically incorrect to smoke. Honestly, a lot of people I’ve known over the years have been adversely affected by smoking (lung cancer) and hack up their lungs, all the while sucking on those cigarettes. Blacks and whites generally go to separate churches here. I think it’s just habit and general preference in music and worship practices rather than racial hatred.

No, it isn’t. Pretty run of the mill.
