Which causes more deaths each year, Alcohol or Tobacco?
Alcohol, wether prolonged effects or short term as in social drinkers, also all the ‘side effects’ spouses, children battered while some-one is under the so called influence. Try being in any A&E Dept. over the weekend, a vast number are drink & drugs related, before the holier than thou brigade start, yes nicotine is a drug, but consider, I’ve never known a cig. smoker perform perverted acts, enter prostituion, mug an old lady for her £2 fish supper, the list is endless, also a smoker goes outside has a cigrette, returns to work mind hardly affected, drinker goes to pub has a couple,response time slow mangle child in road First piece of equipment for emergency responce ambulencecrews & doctors if needed is usually a STAB-VEST to combat druggies & drunks, mean while ‘smokers’ sit quietly waiting, being unjustly persecuted in every walk of life, what next smokers by law must wear a six-pointed yellow star stitched on to their clothes for causing ‘so many deaths’. The problem is that sin
Alcohol….. When you take into consideration the amount of assaults and murders caused by people having too much alcohol and out fighting. And the amount of road deaths caused by mindless folk drunk behind the wheel or drunk people staggering onto on coming traffic. There is a lot of time taken up on the NHS with different cancers…but not all of them are related to smoking or even occurring within smokers so I doubt smoking related incidents are anywhere near the number of alcohol related incidents per annum.
