Is Smoking A Sin?: Ibrahim Chatta Tells the Truth About Smoking That Many Won’t Admit
Nollywood actor Ibrahim Chatta has sparked discussion with his candid thoughts on smoking and morality.
When asked whether smoking is a sin, Chatta didn’t shy away:
“If someone asks me, ‘Is smoking a sin?’ I would say it’s a sin but it’s not explicitly mentioned in the holy book. God doesn’t want us to do things that may later harm us.”
Despite his admission that he smokes, he emphasized transparency over excuses:
“I don’t want to justify it because I DO SMOKE CIGARETTES, but the truth has to be said: whatsoever that can influence or intoxicate you is a sin.”
His remarks open up a wider conversation about how personal habits intersect with faith, and how moral responsibility can extend beyond what is strictly written in religious texts.
Netizens have been quick to weigh in, reflecting on the balance between personal choice and spiritual guidance.
