"In this age of the world the use of tobacco is almost universal. Women and children suffer from having to breathe the atmosphere that has been polluted by the pipe, the cigar, or the foul breath of the tobacco user. Those who live in this atmosphere will always be ailing, and the smoking physician is always prescribing some drug to cure ailments which could be best remedied by throwing away tobacco. 5T 440.1"

"If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are."
Both passages address the idea of defiling the body. 1 Corinthians 3:17 speaks of defiling the temple of God (understood as the body), and EGW speaks of polluting the body with tobacco. The connection is thematic, not direct, but it's a valid parallel.
"of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.” 5T 440.2"
Direct citation 99% Romans 12:1
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."
EGW directly quotes Romans 12:1.
