Smoking And Alcohol

smoking & alcohol

Smoking has no positive effects on a human being. Alcohol, on the other hand, if consumed moderately can help to prevent coronary disease. While this may be good news to alcohol consumer but unfortunately, when both smoking and alcohol get together, they are brewing poison within the body. So, it is advised to not smoke and drink.

The reason is because, even a small amount of alcohol can boost the pleasure effects of nicotine, making you hunger for more nicotine and increase the number of cigarettes you light up. This is based on the survey done to observe the behaviour of the people in the bars and pubs.

It is proven that people who drink more will smoke even more. As such, this lead to the discovery of why people who have quit smoking get back to the old habit after consuming alcohol. The scientists are researching more on smoking cessation by using different drugs to counter the effects.

It is very important to make sure that the people who have stop smoking will stay out of alcohol to avoid getting back to the old habit. In the meantime, there is only hope that there will be a way for the die hard smokers to totally quit smoking without having to stop drinking completely.
