There is nothing in the word of wisdom that prohibits anything but tobacco in regards to this . If it helps you stay away from old choices I think it ' s still healthier if it will keep you away from the real deal . It ' s really a personal choice in the matter . You won ' t be held to member standards as an investigator , but lds community is kinda split on this topic too . Personally , I think it is up to the individual as the word of wisdom clearly only says tobacco and this lets you step down doses of nicotine until you are at no nicotine . <| sep |> You asked other people to do your work for you in proving that TSD is relevant as a fighting style . You made claims about being ' effective and deadly ' that you can ' t or won ' t back up . You ' re acting in a childish manner in most of your posts , which leads me to believe you ' re pretty young . That ' s why I asked your age . No one in this sub wants set up a match between an actual fighter and some 13 yr old .
