Is tobacco more harmful than alcohol?

Answer 1

Based on health statistics and the health science knowledge of both substances, the title of "More Dangerous" goes to alcohol with tobacco running in close behind.

Tobacco on its own is not dangerous but the chemicals added to tobacco to produce cigarettes are. Three of the most common chemicals in tobacco are Nicotine (the addictive substance in tobacco), Formaldehyde, and Cyanide.

Alcohol can kill you in one night where tobacco, mainly cigarette smoking, takes years to result in health issues that cause death. Notice that means cigarettes themselves don't cause death but do cause disease that causes death (COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), Emphysema, etc).

Alcohol reports for approximately 79,000 deaths per year, from excessive drinking alone. This total raises to over 450,000 deaths when you factor in accidents and violence caused by drinking while Tobacco results in approximately 250,000 deaths per year.

If you think about it, have you ever known someone to smoke a cigarette and drive the wrong way on a highway and kill someone? Nope. However, alcohol related fatalities continue to grow as governmental control on alcohol lowers and control on tobacco rises.

Also, did you know that in some places a bottle of alcohol is cheaper than a bottle of water? In Ohio, the price of a 40 ounce bottle of generic beer averages around $1.80 while a 24 ounce bottle of water costs $1.00.
