what's worse? tobacco or alcohol?

My brother smokes around ten tobacco pipes a day but is against alcohol and will rarely ever drink. I on the other hand hate the smell and taste of tobacco but enjoy the taste of beer a lot. I don't like wine cause it makes me too tired and is too acidic and hard shit just fucks me up too much too quick but I love beer. And with beer you don't have it all day everyday(well unless your an alcoholic) like my bro does with smoking tobacco. It drives me nuts cause we are in a band together and every time he'll be like, "you guys wanna take a break AKA me smoke my pipe?" I mean it's gotta be worse to smoke ten pipes a day than have alcohol once in a while right?

Yeah Id say tobacco is significantly worse, alcohol can be beneficial to your health in small doses, its not nearly as addictive or potent, its roa is safer unless you vape, and on a side not: its significantly more psychoactive / euphoric.
Either one on occasion is fine imo, I'll smoke tobacco once in awhile (blunt, spliff) and drink lightly maybe once a week.

Tobacco....nothing wrong with a normal person having one or two drinks a day. I drank 12-24 a day and that's not so good. In other words....alcohol is only bad to the alcoholic.

What's worse, a punch on the shoulder or a bullet in the head?

uh a bullet in the head? i dont consider that to be an accurate analogy to tobacco and alcohol though.
alcohol is very dangerous and can destroy the body and if used habitually.
just ask my friend in my avatar. alcohol killed him.

I was just dramatizing do the obviousness of the answer. We've all seen enough doctors and commercials to know that cigs are the most dangerous

tobacco is a bit different than a cig, i thought the question was about pure organic tobacco vs. pure alcohol.

All drugs will wear down your body. Hell, sunlight is bad for you. Life is a game of trying to avoid things that flat out kill you and not age and die too young.
You will probably never go to jail for smoking tobacco. You might go to jail for alcohol. Never really know how drugs will age you. I see people in their 80s smoking cigs and a 90 year old lady at the liqour store. Some people thrive with an unhealthy lifestyle.
Truth is if you are fat or skinny and get diabetes, both smoking and drinking is a death sentence after losing limbs.

It depends upon how one quantifies the harm.
I'm an alcoholic and I usually chain-smoke.
Alcohol will destroy one's liver with extended abuse , and tobacco can give one cancer with extended abuse, (among other physiological things).
But smoking too-much and coughing a lot won't induce one to wreck a vehicle or ruin a relationship.

I would say alcohol ONLY because of how the risk of death goes up conciderably after consuming alcohol (from being drunk)

Organic tobacco. Lol. Somehow the farming practice would make tobacco less harmful. Where do you get these fruitcake beliefs?

I'm not a smoker but pipe tobacco tends to smell wonderful. My great-grandpa smoked a pipe when I was younger so maybe I just associate the smell with that. Cigarettes stink to me.
Tobacco can make people irritated and smelly. So can alcohol.
I think alcohol can damage relationships and cause poor judgement, even for a non-alcoholic.
My grandpa was a chain-smoker and died of lung cancer at 58.
Both are bad but in different ways.
edit: "Organic" tobacco suggest to me that it would contain less added toxins than a cigarette.

I am leaning towards alcohol being worse than tobacco. Alcoholism is completely debilitating and will kill you quicker than tobacco addiction, IMO.
Both are absolutely horrible, though.

I watched my grandmother pass of lung cancer from chain-smoking.
I'd rather stop drinking than stop smoking. My use of alcohol has fucked my life up WAY, WAY worse than just smoking tobacco (which hasn't). I haven't died from smoking cigarettes (yet), I HAVE died from ethanol (literally).

Tobacco kills significantly more people annually but alcohol could kill you in a single sitting.

I am biased because I have never smoked any type of tobacco so I have always thought smoking is worse. But there are many variables like how much, duration, pre-existing conditions, etc. So it all depends on who the person is and what the circumstances are. Therefore I would say they are equally bad.

Alcohol is worse for society. Tobacco is worse for the individual.
