Drinking or smoking. What is more dangerous in your opinion?

That's your job. You don't come into a debate, make some wild comment and expect everyone else to research it.

 

I'll type my opinion too...

I think smoking is way more dangerous. Becuase, simply, it causes lung cancer(the worst type of cancer). Lung cancer causes your lungs to grow thick, making it hard, if not impossible to breath. If you're lucky, only one lung gets infected, so then it just needs to be cut out. Once that lung is out, you better not get an infection in the other lung, because then you're screwed. Either way then, you're breathing will stop. Now smoking doesn't cause aids but it does cause lung cancer, and in my opinion lung cancer is slightly worse.

 

I think that drinking is more dangerous.....because it doesn't kill you right away.....or ruin your lungs like smoking, it can kill you through alcohol *?* poisoning.....or you could get into an accident and kill another person.....or innoccent civilian.....

 

I think that it depends a lot on what you're drinking/smoking.

 

I can't really say. Their both legalised death in your choice of packaging: box or bottle. Both taste/smell horrible, cause no positive effects besides "feeling better" and are addicting as hell.

Money making death traps? best of both evils right there.

 

Heh, legalized death traps. My father has been smoking since before I was born, he can do more manual labor than a lot of people around us can. Drinking? I can't defend that as well, but I will say that while they do have the potential to kill people, I think that the perspective on them is inflated to some extent. Drinking not as much though, because people lose common sense there, so not directly, but more intensely smoking is inflated in perspective.
There's also where you said "addicting". Although it is scientifically proven that nicotine and alcohol can be addicting, alcohol addiction usually isn't so severe and, if I recall correctly, they came up with a nicotineless cigarette recently that's good enough to fool addicts. So it's easy enough to get around, we even have effective therapy for both.
And if they're so deadly as you say, then the government can go ahead and legalize;

• Meth
• Coke
• Crack
• Heroin
• Steroids
• Pot (VERY arguable as to why it should be on this list besides perspective)
• LSD
• Adderall (Aside already legal dosages)
• Acid
• Shrooms

Why, image the money that would be made then! :D


feel free to prove me wrong

 

Not here to argue, just voicing my opinions, but whatever.

They cause death. That's all I said. get addicted to them, and suck up the cash, and increase your chances of dying before you should. Binge drinking can cause (among other things) vomiting, which people can easily choke on when there so far out of it they can't tell up from down. Smoking... well, I don't need to say. tese nicotine-less cigarettes... do they still have the other 200+ (Either 200 or 2000, I can't remember) unhealthy chemicals in them? BTW, I'm not saying there aren't exceptions to the rule, I'm going by the averages. a single exception among thousands, if not millions of deaths caused by smoking.

Also, to be honest, they might as well legalise the rest of those if you're gonna let two exceptions through. (I will admit Alcohol is the lesser of these two, and it's effects aren't necessarily lethal all the time, but liver problems are increasing, and taking up space on waiting lists)

I don't proclaim to know everything about this. I just know what I need to with the situation of drinking, due to being a "life-saver" for my local hospital (Not literally, just an umbrella term for someone who can perform slightly advanced first aid in absence of a paramedic). Basically, the less times a medical practitioner needs to interfere, the better, in my opinion.

I'll repeat, I'm not here to argue, just state my views based on what I know. I'll admit I'm baised against alcohol and cigarettes, so I'm gonna be against it no matter what's said.

 

You chould have also put Perscription *?* Drugs on your list......they kill people just as much as the other ones.....

 

Although I have arguments against some of this, anything I say will not harm the truth of this post because you admitted that you were biased. Not that I'm not. Also, it's the debate corner, don't come here if you don't want to argue a little.

 

On a person to person basis it is different. An addictive personality will always mess up their own life whether it is through drugs, destructive relationships with others, or anything else and the long term health risks of either lead to you being just as dead whether it's your lungs object to working more or your liver. If I were to pick I'd go with alcohol because no matter what anyone says if you're drunk you may as well be running around with your brain on sleep mode. I know that small amounts of alcohol can be beneficial but in all honesty I know very few people who know what the word moderation means. People drink too much and act as if it acceptable to walk around slobbering drunk because all their associates are in a similarly foul state.

I have nothing good to say about smoking because it is disgusting and revolting. It also affects brain chemistry to an extent as well, that's what addiction is if anyone hadn't noticed, but still people can be forced to stop and reduce damages early. With the advent of constant "educational" adverts there are fewer smokers stateside; proof that it's possible to get people out of smoking before it kills them. Alcohol is a one shot deal in a certain amount of circumstances because it is so short term. You can't take back or prevent the damage of a knife fight or a car accident in the same way now can you?

So overall there are more health risks posed by mind altering substances that affect judgment. Even a usually moderately intelligent person can mess up a few times and make bad things happen that way. But in the end you and the dude next to you are just as dead in the end right?

 

...Isn't LSD the same thing as acid? o.o

Anyway, it depends on the quantity; smoking cigarettes probably will kill you slowly because of the crap that builds up in your lungs, but drinking a large amount of alcohol can kill you in less than a day.
People's tolerances of alcohol differ, and without knowing what your limit is it's rather common for people to ingest too much and die that day.
Alcohol is essentially poison, and too much will distort your senses, so you're a danger to yourself and people around you.
Drunk driving =/= driving with a smoke.

Of course, alcohol in small amounts is fine if it isn't often, and in some cases it can help your health, but again - in small amounts.
And I'm not sure if second hand smoke was proven to be as deadly as people claim it is, I think there was a study a few years ago saying it wasn't nearly as bad as the hype. Which isn't much of a surprise.

In a sense, drinking is more dangerous because of how it ****s with your brain in comparison to a normal cigarette, but something like weed or pot probably has the same effect as alcohol does on the brain.
So in comparing alcohol to legal smokes, I'd say that drinking is more dangerous to people's health.

 

To answer your question. Yes, acid is generally used to refer to Lysergic Acid Diethylamide, a pretty odd hallucinogen as you probably know.

Also, weed or marijuana stays in the brain longer than alcohol does and produces a vaguely similar effect in the sense that it distorts perception but is really a whole different kind of animal in the specifics of its processes and effects. They are comparable as you said but by no means as similar as all that.

 

Yea, I'd just like to add to my point earlier - one glass of wine per day has actually been clinically proven to help you (I don't remember if it helps brain function or heart function. I'm thinking heart, though). I can't think of a single good thing that a cigarette does for you. I mean, they make those things with tar, tobacco (once a hallucinogenic drug the same as pot), and various other poisons, including (I think) cyanide. Ingesting a poisonous plant doesn't make sense to animals, so why should it make sense to us? Now, I know, alcohol, in sufficient quantities is bad, too. It causes liver problems, it causes mental deficiencies( especially while drunk), it kills brain cells, impairs motor functions, and makes you do generally stupid shit. But all that is without moderation. As I said, one glass of wine (normal sized glass) per day helps you. More than that harms you. One puff of a cigarette, though, is always bad for you.

That is what you put into your body......

And these are some of the really bad ones.....
Ammonia: Household cleaner
Angelica root extract: Known to cause cancer in animals
Arsenic: Used in rat poisons
Benzene: Used in making dyes, synthetic rubber
Butane: Gas; used in lighter fluid
Carbon monoxide: Poisonous gas
Cadmium: Used in batteries
Cyanide: Deadly poison
DDT: A banned insecticide
Ethyl Furoate: Causes liver damage in animals
Lead: Poisonous in high doses
Formaldehiyde: Used to preserve dead specimens
Methoprene: Insecticide
Megastigmatrienone: Chemical naturally found in grapefruit juice
Maltitol: Sweetener for diabetics
Napthalene: Ingredient in mothballs
Methyl isocyanate: Its accidental release killed 2000 people in Bhopal, India in 1984
Polonium: Cancer-causing radioactive element

 

What the hell is vanilla extract doing in a-Nevermind.

But you don't know the effects or such as most of those. I don't either, meaning neither of us can use this as a legit argument.

Also I don't tend to trust unidentified copypasta.

 

Here's the website......
http://quitsmoking.about.com/cs/nicotineinhaler/a/cigingredients.htm

 

I may not know what the effects of most of those are, but I'll tell you this: I would not want to be putting that many harmful chemicals into my body, in any quantity.

 

Exactly....and two of the Chemicals that they didn't mention were Formaldehyde, and i think Arsenic....i'm not sure.....

 

it really depends on the quantity and the carelessness. My uncle has cancer from smoking, started when he was 22, he's now 58. But if you're an alchoholic, drinking can severly destroy your liver. Red wine also stains your teeth, as i'm told. If you drink drive, there is a huge chance that you will die.
Smoking will affect you in the long term, but if you drink too much one night, you're gone.

 

Here's a tip: Don't smoke & don't drink drive.

It's really that simple, I never knew that many ingredients were in a ciggarette, they sound harmful. I have never smoked, probably wont. Red wine yellows your teeth over a period of time if your not careful. Will I drink later on when I hit the legal age limit? Yes, most likely, but nothing too- *facepalm* Yeah, I won't stay under the limit but then I'm not going to be a stupid person and die. Because I'm smarter than that, I'll just catch a cab.
