Smoking or Drinking: which is worse?

Both kill but smoking kills faster than drinking. As for being a sin, both acts are sinful

both can kill you although you can drink in moderation. Little alcohol on a birthday party isn't that harmful but if you drink too much then it destroys your lungs

The important the keys to long life are;
Do not smoke,
do not drink alcohol,
Do not do drugs
Exercise and eat good
Respect your parents
Work harder

Don't forget your liver.

Just like comparing death by gunshot with death by hanging and saying death by gunshot is a better death than death by gunshot. At the end of the day, you die and you don't come back to life because every death is death whether by hanging or by gunshot. Both smoking and drinking kill and if you want to live longer then the best thing to do is to quit both.

I started smoking at at 15 when i left home to fend for myself. All the guys I moved with were smokers so I had no choice than to join them although I knew smoking was bad for me. the pressure was too much and they started calling me names so I had to do it. I continued smoking for about 8 years and I quit just 2 years after checking myself in. Smoking can make age prematurely and as we all know it kills. I still drink a little but I feel much younger now that I don't smoke. I'll advice the teenagers and you young guys out there don't get yourself into it in the first place because it is very difficult to quit once you get addicted.

by the way it actually affects the liver not the lungs!

I think it depends on a person's body constitution. You simply cannot generalize. For instance, if a person has diabetes or liver complications or kidney problems, then drinking will be bad for him/her. On the other hand if he/she has blood pressure and a genetic predisposition to stroke, then smoking can be more harmful. I quit smoking about a year back and I notice my body is less trimmer and my stomach more bloated. Moreover, I also feel that smoking tends to smoothen the nerves of some nervous people. I seem to be a bunch of nerves these days. I still wonder if I have chosen the wrong vice for me -- drinking!

I believe that smoking is far worse than drinking.It all depends really. Everything is good in moderation, except for smoking. Smoking is bad, not only do you harm yourself but others around you as well. Even smoking one or two cigarettes a week,will still increase the chance of getting any type of heart related disease. Alcohol is a bit different. One can have one or two beers and they will be fine, as long as one knows their limits its fine. Like I said before, MODERATION. If one does not moderate in the amount of alcohol it will harm one's body as well as others by making irrational decision while under the influence.

in my opinion, smokin is definately better than drinking because alcohol can destroy peoples brain and their way of thinking....so alcohol is more worse
