    You can do serious damage by drinking too much, but smoking is much more harmful. They put deadly chemicals in cigarettes such as benzine and arscenic that cause many more types of cancer than drinking. Like smoking, drinking is addictive, but smoking is much more addictive. I once attended an AA meeting (for support of a family member), and it was ironic how all the alcholics in the room were able to give up drinking for extended periods of time, but not one was able to give up smoking.

    To put it another way, let’s say the harmful effects of drinking can be represented by a sewing needle, and smoking represents a butcher’s knife. Which would you rather be impaled with? Also, smoking will harm others from second-hand smoke. When I was a kid, both my parents smoked, heavily. During that time, I was in and out of the Children’s Hospital with breathing and allergy problems. Eventually, both my parents quit, and I never again had an asthma attack.

    If you’re not going to quit smoking for yourself, do it for others, such as children, the elderly and unborn babies (you stupid women who smoke during pregnancy should be shot!).
