Dear, welcome to lybrate-user. Tobacco is addictive. Cigarette also contains 4000+ carcinogenic chemicals other than nicotine. Nicotine and other chemicals can cause cancer of different types and areas. Throat cancer, mouth cancer, lung cancer, stomach cancer and brain problems can result. Over and above smoking may also increase the risk factor of heart attack and brain stroke. Please quit smoking. There is no safe limit of alcohol consumption. Even a drop can be fatal for liver. Quit alcohol. I suggest you to consult a psychologist or de addiction therapist. Take care.
