Alcohol vs Smoking

A couple of days back , I cried when they break the news of death of two kids. Father of them was found with hypothermia and frostbite....... after 8 hours in hospital he started asking about his daughters, only then people knew about his daughters...... after extensive search they found bodies of both girls, frozen to death. Initial news was itself very shocking but another update of same story was very painful for me . It is now in news that father was drunk when he left his house with two daughters, elder three years old and younger one year old. Both kids were only in T-shirt and diapers and temp was -50 celcius with wind chill.

My question is , people make a big issue of smoking .. it is ban everywhere, so much money is spend on awareness programs etc..but why we can't see such actions , such bans on alcohol!!!!. Yes smoking is bad, but smoker increases his/her chances of death by certain diseases, or increase a chance of certain diseases among other people.. even then there is a possiblity of reversal of such effects upto certain level. But can we see any of such thing among drunk drivers , who kill innocent people...

What do you think.... which one is bigger evil ... smoking or alcohol?

Evil is Evil. Nothing is greater or lesser evil IMHO.

Irresponsible smoker would not only set house on fire by falling a sleep while smoking but can also kill others who could be sleeping in that house. Forget abt the damage they put to their body with smoke but damage others who are around them with 2nd hand smoke 😳

People who drink irresponsibly can not only kill them selves driving under the influence but can kill other innocent people on the road. Too sad.

To me they both are equally evil.

BTW Dewey the story you mention is indeed a very sad one 😳

Ab Fire to fire hoti hai, chule se ho yaa candle se . Can't say one is badder then the other.

But I have seen more people smoking mindlessly, out of habit , maybe not necessarily because of addiction. More people think it is ok to smoke then drink and more people therefore smoke but will never touch a drink. Smoking has one more negative impact on people around smoker which alcohol does not have.

If that's true then why do we have so many different laws and sections under which different types of crimes can be classified and charged. I don't think you'll be able to support this view of yours.

Anyway, IMO somehow nowadays I feel it's become sort of a fad to hound the smokers and act of smoking. I agree that drinking a small amount everyday, especially wine, is actually healthy whereas smoking whether a single puff or a whole pack is harmful. But everyone knows that when it comes to excess, smoking affects others way less than drinking.

Ye duniya main millions of people do smoke n drink.....I dont think they all are irresponsible ppls!!!........😳drink n drive is bad ..ok agree but without drink how many accidents happening this world.......😳😛😉First speed kam karoo....achee road banavooo...ache trafic system banvoo.ye sub dhek kar log peete hey....dont blame them....😉😛
