However, it is merely a single factor, and by no means the most 
important one. Kind of like when some Christians treat homosexuality as 
if it were the worst possible crime, when it is not mentioned at all in 
the New Testament, and, in the Old Testament, is no worse than having a 
chesseburger. Being a vegetarian does not make you an ethical person, 
although being an ethical person MIGHT make you a vegetarian.

Smoking is prohibited by the E.S. as well, and both Blavatsky and Moria 
were smokers.
