I would agree that since we have evidence to prove that smoking harms "infants" that mothers should not smoke nor frequent places where smoke may be present.

As far as the body issue, yes it should be a concern, but 1 (example) pipe smoke a week I doubt will harm the body any more than me having a desert every now and then, though I have HBP (my doc approved 1 per week). We do not stop eating just because overeating is a sin, thus....

Moderation in Christianity is a wonderful thing that (1) should not be neglected (2) should not be misused (3) should not become legalistic (4) that should be based on (a) the person (b) their situation (c) how their situation affects others (d) and ultimately God's glory/Word. Pray and seeking God's will in these things is of course of utmost importance.
