Pastor Chris Oyakhilome is the owner of Believers Love World Fellowship which metamorphosed into Christ Embassy International Ministries.
This Church has a regular membership of over 3 million in Nigeria alone and fans of over ten million people who belong to other denominations but see Pastor Chris as their alternative pastor.
Inadvertently Pastor Chris Oyakhilome controls over twelve million people in Nigeria especially the youth and middle aged.
His telecast is still the most viewed among Nigerian Christians including Roman Catholics, Anglicans, Methodists and Pentecostal brethren.
This Pastor recently stirred the hornets nest in the month of February 2012 when answering a question on how to overcome masturbation said thus masturbation in itself is not a sin against God.SEE FULL STORY HERE: /2012/06/pastor-chris-oyakhilomes-theory-of.html

Though am not a fan f pastor Chris, here he right. †ђε scripture studied in details Ãήϑ also †ђε writings f church fathers as successors f †ђε apostles never condemn alcoholism nor smoking. Even drugs we take contain nicotine...so foes dat make everyone who take prescribed drugs an addict?. Jesus was even termed a drunkard coz he drank Ãήϑ a glutton coz he hardly fast like D̶̲̥̅̊ pharisees.cf. Matt: 11:18-19. Even he changed water into wine which contain alcohol. Cf Jn:2:1-12,...pple shud study sacred scriptures Ãήϑ extral biblical writings like D̶̲̥̅̊ dead sea scrolls wich give us a better insight into †ђε thoughts f †ђε first century Christians-their tenets Ãήϑ response to things, Ãήϑ not what somebody having NƠ̴̴̴͡ indepth knowledge f theology Ãήϑ circumstances that elicited some response from jesus. Anything taking in excess or outside its mandate is wat constitute sin. Like example sex used within marriage is adorable but outside marriage is deplorable before God Ãήϑ man. So †ђε fact i abstain from alcohol or cigarettes does not make it sinful coz others do take these. What constitute sin is drunkenness Ãήϑ addiction. Detachment is one f †ђε positive signs f spiritual life.

Smoking isn't a sin, but it's a stupid thing to do in the first place.
Smoking is sin, lots of people have died due to complication caused by smoking. they violate the law of Almighty God "thou shall not Kill" They short their life span due to smoking. They know fully well that smokers are liable to die young. It sin for one to take his life.

with regards to smoking we are admonished to cleans our selves of every Defilement of the Flesh perfecting Holiness in God's Fear and smoking defiles us as humans (2Corinthian Chapter 7 verse 1) smoking tobacco endangers health and life. Smoking has been linked to more than 25 life-threatening diseases. It is, for example, a major contributor to heart attack, stroke, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and various cancers, especially lung cancer. Why Then should any well meaning individual a christian for that matter claim that smoking is not a sin
