What good comes out of alcohol and cigarettes?

Question

just wondering
any facts to prove
why this can help you?
or else why is there any point cuz it hurts more than it does good, so what do you think?

Answer 1

Good: this is only personal belief...
Cigarettes: can calm you down when stressed
Alcohol: can do the same. If its wine they say a glass is good for you but no more than that.

Bad:
Cigarettes - horrible for you in the long run
Alcohol: highly addictive and very bad for your body if you drink in excess instead of moderation.

I have no proof, these are just personal opinions.

Answer 2

There is tons of good that come from it. everyone has there own way to deal with there stress and these are good easy ways, and to the one who said there is no good and there just all addiction screw you. You can smoke and drink with out being addicted to them. I smoke once in a great while like maybe once a year and just because i choose to drink a few beer or a glass of wine on a Saturday night doesn't mean I have a addiction. Now to go to health reasons there is still good, maybe not so much from smoking but if your a person like me who only smokes once in a great while to relieve some stress it is good, stress can lessen a persons life and one cigarette won't kill you. now with drinking there has been study after study that alcohol has great health benefits. a glass or two of wine is good for the heart and also beer by thinning your blood. So get off your high and mighty horse and stop judging people. There living for themselves not for you.

Answer 3

I don't see the point of the cigarettes,
but the alcohol seems useful,
it can stop your ability to control your emotions,
I use it to get use to my emotions and see what they are thinking.
also a "small amount" can be really relaxing,
useful in situations like: after you get home from a car wreck and your muscles just will not relax, an ounce of rum will make sure that you are not very sore the next day.

its also useful for getting your friends to drive when you go out.

problems start when people forget what they are dealing with,
it is a depressant, and can be addictive, and can physically hurt you if you have to much.

Answer 4

Alcohol can be enjoyed in moderation and can actually be good for you in small doses. If you binge you can end up with cancer, heart attacks, liver and kidney disease, STDs and unwanted pregnancies. Cigarettes may calm your nerves for a few minutes but once your addicted its hard to crack and you will notice a decline in your health almost straight away, your health will deteriate so badly probably resulting in a long slow painful death! Stay away from cigarettes and drink sensibly!

Answer 5

Nothing good comes out of cigarettes, but plenty good comes from alcohol - you just need to be in control of yourself and know when to stop.

I like alcohol, because it let's you loose. A a party, club, bar, concert, event etc... it justs makes you feel good and get wilder..... it makes the real you come out and takes away all your anxiety.

Don't be such a mormon, drink up!

Answer 6

Some wine is good for your heart and cholesterol. Some people don't quit smoking because they have a weight problem.

Sure they're not best for you but there are worse things.

Answer 7

Neither one does any good, they are just addictions like:
biting the fingernails
picking the nose and eating it
belching out loud in public on purpose
letting off gas in public on purpose
they are all disgustiing habits and addictions.

Answer 8

nothing! absolutly nothing! all it does is hurt your body but if people think that its helping them then it pretty much is. like if i went to africa and they didn't have the medication to treat my sickness they would get a healer. and they just do a ritual and if you believe they are helping you your body really fights it off strange huh?

Answer 9

Helps us put up with holier than thou types

Answer 10

Being able to put up with the stress of being able to deal with people like you.
