Alcoholism Recovery & Treatment

Question by abigayle la: Can smoking lead one to become an alcohol dependent and lead to the necessity of addiction treatment?
A lot of smokers I know are also alcohol drinkers. Are smoking and alcohol drinking somehow connected? Will the treatment of one eventually lead to the dissipating of the other?

Actually, smoking and alcohol consumption are indeed interrelated. Nicotine intake increases a person’s alcohol craving, whereas alcohol drinking boosts the effects of smoking. This explains why smokers are almost always drinkers as well. Addiction treatment will be needed when the person is already consuming so much more of the substances than what is moderate, or when he is getting physically or psychologically dependent upon them. Treatment of both disorders will be best as treating only one will bode for a bigger chance of relapse.

Question by damaris a: Can smoking lead to alcohol addiction and would lead the person to need addiction treatment?
I was just wondering about this since the smokers I know also drink excessively. Is there really a connection between smoking and drinking alcohol?

Smoking and alcohol consumption actually happens to be interrelated. Nicotine increases alcohol cravings and alcohol boosts smoking effects. This is why smokers are usually drinkers too. If the person is really dependent upon smoking and alcohol, it’s always best to get addiction treatment. Treating both smoking and alcohol addiction simultaneously would be the best way to go, as treating only one first might only lead to relapse soon after.

Question by Sundrop: Why is there such a heavy campaign against smoking and not alcohol abuse?
Smoking is bad for you, yes. It causes cancer, and so does second hand smoke; however, alcohol abuse has been attributed to domestic violence, accidental murders/manslaughter, car accidents, hit-and-runs, destruction of properties, financial debts, liver problems, and various other health issues, including death. So why the heavy anti-smoking sentiment, and not much public outcry against alcohol abuse?
