Not only that, but women who have “tramp stamps” and later may need an epidural for childbirth are in danger because there is a risk of injecting a needle into the spine through the tattoo.

Honestly, I cannot understand how Christ followers can tattoo themselves. Yes, I understand those who receive Christ post tattoo, but getting a tattoo after receiving Christ always perplexed and bothered me.

I'm gonna give smoking a pass, here. I don't indulge myself, except for a very rare celebratory cigar, but I cannot see that it has moral significance.

Abuse of smoking might be a sin because the body is God's temple (1 Corinthians 6:19), so a pack a day-er might be indulging in sin. However, smoking does not affect your mental make-up like alcohol, and drugs, and even alcohol, taken in moderation is not harmful to the body. So, I'm giving it a pass, too.

Now I might be wrong, but frankly, I've got much more serious sins to account for. Thankfully, they are under the blood. But I can't worry about those two.

I like the Daily Mail myself but someone once pointed out this list “The Daily Mail’s list of things that give you cancer”.
