What causes people to smoke more when they drink alcohol?

smokings much moe casual and u dont get any effects that can lead to any sort of accdent

smoking is more casuall yes.And its probrably cheeper than drink.And in a few places you cant drink in public as for smoking your only not allowed to smoke in puplic places or in 4 walls in public

Well most of the smokers I know admit that its a nasty habit and seem to try to control their urge to smoke. Drinking alcohol lowers your ability to control your urges, so they just smoke when they get the urge to.

Also if drinking with friends, then smoking becomes a social thing. My g/f can get as low as 3 smokes in a day. But when around family/friends that smoke she can go through 1/2 a pack in 3hrs.

They go so well together..but two wrongs dont make a right lol…Ya see smoking dry`s the throat and drinking stops the drying…Add drunken conversation and the throat gets more dry, so you drink more,the drinking and movement of your mouth muscles when talking drunk talk clears and cleans the airways a bit..this means more room for tobacco toxic tar and stuff…I reckon.
