The Watchtower, “Keeping God’s Congregation Clean in the Time of His Judgment”

1 juin 1973 · pp.340-341 · pars. 22, 24 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“They may now be given a reasonable period of time, such as six months, in which to free themselves of the addiction. … If persons already baptized are not willing to abandon their addiction to damaging and enslaving products, what then? … They should therefore be removed from the congregation due to such conduct unbecoming a Christian.”

The article classifies nicotine with addictive drugs, says those still using tobacco do not qualify for baptism, gives already-baptised users about six months to stop, and provides for expulsion if they do not. The two quoted sentences are paragraphs 22 and 24.

God’s Kingdom Rules!, “Chapter 11: Moral Refinements—Reflecting God’s Holiness”

2014 · pp.111-112 · par. 13 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“In 1973 a further moral refinement came. The Watchtower of June 1 explained that no Witness of Jehovah could remain in good standing in the congregation while carrying on this death-dealing, defiling, and unloving practice. Those who refused to give up the misuse of tobacco were to be disfellowshipped.”

The 2014 history describes the 1973 decision as a refinement brought about by Christ, and a footnote adds that ‘the misuse of tobacco includes smoking it, chewing it, or cultivating it for such uses’.
