Alcohol poisoning can do severe and permanent brain damage. This is happening to some of the young teenagers today who practice a culture of binge drinking. Unfortunately this brain damage effect is not publicised enough. Besides this, too much alcohol also speeds up the ageing process and increases your chances of getting cancer, cirrhosis of the liver, pancreas problems and a stack of other health problems.
Nicotine damages your lungs and increases your chances of getting cancer. It is also bad for your circulation and can lead to strokes and heart attacks. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

To be fair, alcohol is bad for the body when drunk to excess, but not when taken in moderation. Indeed, many doctors even recommend small quantities of alcohol as part of a healthy diet. Whereas cigarettes are just pure poison - any amount is bad for your health.

True, both are drugs, and so affect your entire body, but alcohol also impairs judgement, reasoning, and coordination.
Also, very few people puke or pee all over themselves because they've had too much to smoke.
They both stink, and they can both kill you, just in different ways.

You're right they are both unfortunately legal drugs that kill millions of people a day. the difference I guess could be that one messes up your lungs and the other messes up your liver in my opinion they are no differences they both kill you.
