Tobacco smoke injures every part of the respiratory organ. It inflames the lining membrane of the nose, throat, trachea and lungs. It produces coughing. It also injures the lining of the lungs that tuberculosis and other diseases are more likely to be attracted.
What is said of tobacco is also true of all kinds of alcohol. When a man drinks alcohol, it can be smelled on his breath in just a short of time after it has been drunk. This is due to the fact that as soon as the alcohol has entered the blood and has been carried to the lungs, the lungs try to get rid of the poison as quickly as possible. Physicians know that alcohol drinkers easily contract pneumonia and tuberculosis and, moreover when they contract one of these diseases they have the less chance of recovery than do those who do not use alcohol. This is conclusive proof that alcohol injures that heart.
Both tobacco and alcohol can be highly addictive and have long-ranging health consequences. The effects of mixing tobacco and alcohol can include a shortened life span, interpersonal problems, and respiratory problems. This is because both substances can be dangerous on their own and because tobacco is a mild stimulant, while alcohol is a depressant. Also, both tobacco and alcohol are legal and widely available, making them easier to abuse.
