A member asked:
Is smoking more harmful than drinking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
DIfferent: Alcohol in moderation is harmless and perhaps helpful, but one person in ten loses self-control with respect to this, and with this loses what's best about them as a person. If you start smoking, i guarantee you will have damage to your lungs affecting your physical fitness in the short run, your ability to enjoy your old age, and risk cancer as gruesome as any horror show. Can't compare them.
