exogen2	If you had to ask me to pick one--I'd say smoking first (I'm assuming this is Cigarettes), as long as your drinking does not INCREASE at the same time. First reason being its involvement with Nicotinic Acetylcholine, as opposed to the Gaba dysregulation seen with drinking. You should make it a 100% complete cessation and reaffirm yourself never to go back, however. If you are worried about your liver in the meantime, pick up some Milk Thistle from your local Wal-Mart or nutrition store, and consider getting on a low-dose St. John's Wort/Omega-3/Green Tea (extract) regimen to keep your neurotransmitters in check while your body recovers from the smoking. Honestly, though, you should ask yourself why "both is too much" and try to work with a doctor or a licensed practitioner in nutritionally helping you rebalance yourself in accordance to quitting both at the same time. You would be amazed at how easily even the biggest addicts to these substances recover with the proper neurotransmitter support! (This means amino acid supplementation, or over-the-counter herbal support.) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jessica T	quit smoking. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

anna banana	Smoking presents a more immediate health concern. Quit smoking first, and eventually you can learn to quit drinking. Alcohol can damage your liver eventually, but cigarrettes are basically poison. I should know, I smoked for 10 years .. but I have successfully quit, and have drastically cut down on my drinking as well Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

mrsdepp93	Smoking is disgusting and more life threatening. You can drink, just dont abuse it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Mel R	My opinion...stop smoking, and only drink occasionally You have to think about your health no matter what age you are. That's MOST important. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Combogalis	Depends if you are problem-drinking. If you drink too much, as in quite a bit more than average, then I'd say quit drinking. Otherwise smoking, but don't use it as an excuse to start drinking more. Same for smoking if you quit drinking. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

D G	smoking, if u really can't do with axing both. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Meri	smoking...and then only drink socially Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

kingsholto	I'd say drinking because that affects your life more than smoking (if were talking about cigarettes). You liver is easier to corrode than your lungs ( i think, i dont really know) and once you are safely off the booze in a couple of years you can begin to wean of of the cigarettes which will corrode your lungs eventually. But i think trying them both at the same time is just setting up for failure. While trying to quit drinking try to find something positive to addict yourself to. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

mumof3	well think about how both affect you and when you do the 2 things and which one will be easier on you to stop that's how i would decide good luck !!!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

lisa b	quit both, neither are good for you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Bob	smoking. the way they keep banning it in different places, you'll have to quit it soon enough anyway. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Brittany B	Drinking first, it seems the hardest, I mean if you take cigarettes for years when you quit your body will slowly heal itself, but drinking has permanent damage and it's a big struggle, where there's lots of medication for cigarettes quitting patches and so on. Slowly ween yourself because I doubt you can do it cold turkey, that would be unbearable. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

michelle	smoking. smoking damages your lungs. Lung illness is harder to cure than complications with the stomach. But I'm not saying that you should not stop drinking. Just quit smoking first. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

kittycatburlington	Smoking. It affects so many more system functions than drinking does. Healthwise in the long run I mean Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Paramedic Girl	Quit smoking. (I'll pass on this site to you... I used it when I quit. Take the time to check it out http://www.quitnet.com ) As for the drinking, if your personality changes when you drink, you do things you regret, it effects relationships or work, or you get behind the wheel of a car... its time to quit that too. Wasting your life away won't be worth it. Call Alcoholics Anonymous (they are in your local phone book). Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

naamancct	I would quit smoking. It's worse for you than drinking. As long as you don't over drink. Plus, smoking doesn't do anything for you. Drinking makes you feel great. Oh wait, are you talking about "smoking"? Not cigarettes? Oh well, then I guess that would do something for you. But drinking is still better. So I would quit smoking. Good luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ryan m	Look at it this way= Which hurts others around you?
