Both are equally dangerous. My sister died from alcohol addiction and she had lung cancer

They are both bad in their own ways. Even sugar alcohols in fruit and veggies can be harmful to those who are sensitive to them. Tobacco is generally loaded with chemicals to get people hooked on their brands. With some brands like Marlboros it’s about the same as free-basing.

Smoking is more hazardous for your health but alcohol is more hazardous for the health of everyone else. The wider effects of alcohol include drink driving, domestic abuse and general drink fuelled violence.

Booze.

People complain about the supposed effects of second hand smoke but alcohol can seriously affect not only the physical health of the imbiber but also the physical and mental health of dozens of people god forbid you decide to drive around zipped out of your mind on alcohol.

Hard to say. The poisons from cigarettes damage not only the lungs, but the whole body. And alcohol affects the liver and brain, which impacts the rest of the body as well.

Sugar snacks and soda.

Even though Alcohol is packed with lots of sugar. I usually water it down with peach tea

Just being negative and having the wrong people around you. Who I know that drink is still living and strong. The bar is his best friend

I worked with a younger woman who prided herself on her trim figure & doing aerobics. She would lay in the sun and tan deeply, smoke and drink a lot of wine. She started aging badly, her skin wrinkling and age spots…….looks a lot older than her age. People who smoke, drink often and sunbathe are multiplying the effects of free radical damage. Exercise does not neutralize the free radical damage.
