Yes cursing is a sin against God.

James 3:9-12
With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.

Ephesians 4:29
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

1 Peter 3:10
For, "Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.

As evidenced by these quotes here, I do not believe saying cuss words in general is a sin. Afterall a word is just a word, it is the meaning behind the words that truely matters. Depending on the context in which the word is used it can take different meanings.

Most times cuss words are used in general conversations by people. There is no ill intent in choosing to use these words in these circumstances it is just habit. It is only when you use your words to intentionally hurt someone that it becomes a sin.

I think that is apparent from the quotes above.
