What is the biblical basis against the use or overuse of tobacco and other types of drugs? A common position among many Christians in America is that the use of tobacco, alcohol, and other types of drugs (marijuana, etc.) is immoral and sinful.  Paul seems to indicate that, in the context of food at least, nothing should be considered forbidden:


  Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart
  from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and
  teachings of demons, 2 through the insincerity of liars whose
  consciences are seared, 3 who forbid marriage and require abstinence
  from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those
  who believe and know the truth. 4 For everything created by God is
  good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with
  thanksgiving, 5 for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.  (1 Timothy 4:1–5, ESV)


What, then, is the Biblical basis for why the use of tobacco and other types of drugs are considered by many to be immoral or sinful?
First, beware of false premises.  Food provides sustenance to the body. It contains calories and vital nutrients.  Drugs do not, so it would be a mistake to equate them with food.  In fact, drugs tend to have the opposite effect from food: instead of nourishing the body, they harm it.

Second, simply because "everything created by God is good," that does not mean that every possible use of everything created by God is good.  Otherwise, there would be no such thing as sin at all.  Hemp contains very useful fibers that make it good for building ropes, for example, and tobacco has medicinal properties that make it quite good for treating bruises.  Neither of these require the plants to be taken internally.

Third, as I pointed out in another answer to a related question, a lot of modern drugs were not known in Biblical times, but abuse of the one they did know about, alcohol, is strongly condemned in the Bible. (Including by Paul, the same guy who wrote the 1 Timothy passage quoted in the question.)  So it stands to reason that the use of other drugs should likewise be considered sinful.
