Answer by Naguru
There is nothing here. I have already searched and inquired from all my wise friends. It must be there only. Please again make a thorough search. Contact those who have enough knowledge about it.

There is the NHS, and a few Facebook groups (and FRED), but you may have hit on a gap in the market 🙂

Can Smoking Lead to Alcohol Addiction and Would Lead the Person to Need Addiction Treatment?

Question by damaris a: Can smoking lead to alcohol addiction and would lead the person to need addiction treatment?
I was just wondering about this since the smokers I know also drink excessively. Is there really a connection between smoking and drinking alcohol?

Best answer:

Answer by cielo t
Smoking and alcohol consumption actually happens to be interrelated. Nicotine increases alcohol cravings and alcohol boosts smoking effects. This is why smokers are usually drinkers too. If the person is really dependent upon smoking and alcohol, it’s always best to get addiction treatment. Treating both smoking and alcohol addiction simultaneously would be the best way to go, as treating only one first might only lead to relapse soon after.
