Replacing drinking with smoking

[SeekingSerenity]

Hey everyone,

I've been using alcohol regularly for quite a while and my doctor recommended I switch to smoking. Does anyone have any experience or feedback on this transition?

I don't really have any major insight but anecdotally I've seen people who have struggled with things like alcoholism and hard drugs stick to coffee and cigarettes and seem to function fine without relapsing, if you're not already into cigarettes then I don't know if I'd recommend starting though, I love cigarettes but its hellishly expensive where I live and fucks ur lung capacity if u enjoy running or swimming or anything like that.

switching from a addiction to addiction Maybe doesnt sound that amazing but nicotine is highly addictive and u will feel easier dropping alcohol. Later on u will probably want to drop the ciggaretes too and replace it with running or generally working out. Obviously if u are persistent enough to drop alcohol u can try jumping to working out from the get go

What about vaping instead of regular cigarettes?

I have given up both drinking and smoking. I wouldn't pick up smoking if you don't already. It's expensive, it stinks, it makes it hard to breathe. Plus, I don't think it'll keep you from drinking, and then you will just have two addictions
