from
Wikipedia
Throughout its history, the Church of the Nazarene has maintained a stance supporting total abstinence from alcohol and any other intoxicant, including cigarettes.
While the church does not consider alcohol itself to be the cause of sin, it recognizes that intoxication and the like are a ' danger ' to many people, both physically and spiritually.
So in order to help the poor, as well as everyone else, Nazarenes have traditionally abstained from those things.
Also, a person who is meant to serve an example to others should avoid the use of them, in order not to cause others to stray from their ' walk with God ,' as that is considered a sin for both parties.
