Ok . Is the smoker in charge of his life or is Holy Spirit the one that convicted the man of sin against his body, how righteousness in Christ might be used to change his life, how satan has been judged by God and he can overcome through Jesus. This discussion agrees with the text IMHO.
Or
We can find a way to make the man in charge of all the decisions so he can get the credit. With the man getting the credit we can still use the text, but it will be a little warped.
To me this comment says the smoker (evidently a christian) is just flat in sin. Holy Spirit convicts him of sin, takes his mind to righteousness, and victory over satan and his promotion of smoke lust is overcome. Holy Spirit in charge and giving glory to Jesus.

Right now there are four (?) of us speaking. Holy Spirit would wish for order, change, and knowledge to come forth. We should all know we are nothing without the fullness of God at work: Scripture, creation, desire of the Father, work of the Son, gifts of Holy Spirit etc.eddif
