Confession and sins

Ellie

As Catholics we should all go to confession and confess our sins to the priest for God to forgive us. I believe it’s an important part of our faith in order to get to heaven.

Is smoking a sin though because while it’s not stated in the 10 commandments, human life is a gift from God and belongs to God alone (stewardship) we all know smoking damages the body and effectively you are shortening your life.

So is smoking a sin?
