Like d1 said they are both dirty shitty drugs that the buzz=sick. Only kids are stupid enough to start smoking because you have to put a lot of effort into getting past that sickness stage to get to the point of being able to smoke without getting super ill. Btw, I started smoking when I was 14 because I thought it was cool, I would have never done that as an adult. Take it as a blessing that they both make you sick and don't pick up those habits especially smoking. As far as alcohol is concerned, I've had various friends get hooked on various hard drugs and alcohol was the most damaging and debilitating. I have a friend who is effectively handicapped because of his drinking and cannot leave his house and live any sort of life.
