In terms of a bad addiction, is alcohol worse than cigarettes?

Answer by  Ryochan (214)

Both have their risks of course, but I have heard of far more people getting cirrhosis of the liver from drinking than cancer from smoking.

Both can be very destructive. Alcohol is a bit worse, however, in that the health consequences are more immediate. Both will eventually kill you, though.

No I think cigs are alot worse than alcohol because cigs have alot more harmful chemicals in them than alcohol does.

Both are bad for you. Both can hurt other people. Smoking kills your lungs and causes second hand smoke. Drinking corrodes your liver and could potentially kill or hurt others. Probably Alcohol since the number of Drunk Driving Deaths and injuries are so high.
