E-Cigs and Word of Wisdom

Post by _Cinnamon Bear Head »

I recently bought my lady E-cigs from Vaporsmiths to replace her smoking. Worked great and now she only uses them. Brought up the question, are these things WoW friendly? No tobacco, no tar, just a vaporized cloud of flavor and nicotine. Much thanks....

From what I was taught, you are to avoid the very appearance of evil...
If it looks like a cigarette, and your brain thinks its a cigarette, then its a cigarette.
But this doesn't apply to Barleycup, Caro or Sholer.

Don't forget to feel the guilt, if you look at it and lust after it, then you may well have actually done it.
So my answer is F*** IT! have the real thing.

It is tobacco that is prohibited by the Word of Wisdom—not cigarettes, nicotine, or the appearance of smoking (or chewing).

When in doubt, ask yourself if the product could be used to treat bruises or heal sick cattle. If not, you're good.

Why would it be against the WoW? Someone mentioned to avoid the "appearance of evil", well, smoking and drinking are NOT evil, so no problem there either.

I wonder if people will someday be able to pay tithing with virtual money and have it count as being a full tithe payer? Now wouldn't that be something?

Apparently it also doesn't apply to coffee ice cream...

Hmmm...I was taught at Church that if you thought about boinking someone, that was as bad as actually doing it.

So it must equally be true to say that as long as you are thinking about paying tithing that's as good as actually paying it.

Fair enough?

Hahaha love it.

Yeh I thought about coming to church.

I thought about going to the temple.

I thought about GOD!

AH, Now I understand Religion.

Cigarettes are dangerous - by default:
