Drinking makes us all more passionate about ‘something’, and I guess it’s how it comes out that makes you a problem drinker or not. But I don’t blame you, people seem to agree smoking is worse, of course my uncle was a heavy drinker/smoker and it took him like 30 years before it finally killed him (even then he killed himself). I don’t know why people can get cancer over the silliest of things, and others can abuse there bodies to death w/o dying.

Oh yea, I remember the point, anywho I learned to control some of those benign “dorky” habits when drinking especially via internet. Meh I ramble….Best Answer!

Therefore, did you consider not worrying about a few smokes when you are drinking? Not like a handful of cigarettes will kill you, unless of course you drink everyday.

Some things have worked for me with varying levels of success:
-Change what you drink. I used to drink beer heavily as a smoker, now as a non smoker I switched to martinis, scotch or whiskey

-Frequent only non-smoking bars. Most states have outlawed smoking in bars anyway, this helped me as there were fewere people to bum from

-Treat yourself to the occasional cigar as your reward for not smoking while drinking.

The best thing would be to stop drinking altogether, or stop drinking with people who smoke.

Smoking cigarettes is like being an alcoholic once you’ve quit: you’ll always be a smoker, and thus vulnerable to the habit, especially when you’re drinking.
