Words Wrote:Drinking is not as bad as cigarrette?
They're both bad, awful bad.
Both cause adictions, different types though.
Alcohol= physical adiction, meaning it'll be harder to quit and if you try you'll get sick (abstinence syndrome). While,
Cigarrette= psychological adiction, meaning it'll be just as hard to quit but you won't get sick if you do.
Also, alcohol can kill you in 1 night, while cigarrette takes more time. Actually both are long term killers.
Alcoholism is disease that kills tons of people a year. If you drink moderately and you don't mix stuff, good for you.
For those who don't do the first: brain cells dying, passing out is not good (although, it forces you to stop drinking), if you drink a lot and you mix it with cocaine or any similar drugs you might die of alcohol overdose.
Alcohol is just socialy accepted but that doesn't make it "better" than cigarrette and some drugs.
If you consider it some psychotropics that are legal/ilegal and socially accepted/not-accepted sometimes aren't even legal/ilegal for rightful reasons.
Drinking can be very bad if taken in high ammounts, cigarettes are always bad.
Absorbing something through your stomach is always less harmful than through your lungs.
You say they have the same consequences but you fail to adress the ammount/frequency at which they need to be consumed to achieve the same effects.
You also do not say how much you need to have in order to get addicted.
