i’d say drinking is worse…if u compare smoking to alcoholism. u will ruin ur liver much sooner with heavy drinking than u will ruin your lungs with heavy smoking.

I’ve know more people in my life ruin their lives or die premature from alcohol than smoking too so I might have to agree

I would have to say loneliness. :frowning:

I think smoking is worse health-wise, but I have to say I’ve never heard of anyone smoking too much and killing someone else while driving, so maybe alcohol is worse.

That is a good point, didn’t think about drunk driving. :thinking::thinking::thinking:

Alcohol without question.

This is really hard to say. Smoking is terrifically bad for your health, but you’re not going to drive at ungodly speeds and kill people in a car wreck when you’re smoking. You’re not going to come home and beat your wife and kids when you smoke. A lot depends on whether or not you’re an alcoholic when you drink. Alcoholics get to the point where people want to puke when they see them coming, because they are usually disgustingly drunk. But I honestly don’t know the answer to this question. Second hand smoke is a hazard with smokers. They say that half the people who smoke die from smoking related health problems, but I think I would have to say that drinking worse, if you’re an alcoholic.

More people die from smoking than drinking (I looked it up). Drinking at moderate levels isn’t harmful as well, whereas smoking is unhealthy at any level.

I thought smoking was worse. It’s bad no matter what. Many people just drink in moderation. Obviously a lot of alcohol over a long time can be harmful, but that’s not most people.
