Picture: Health Risks Of Smoking And Drinking by DaPhilosopher(m): 2:47pm On May 21, 2015
Drinking too much or smoking too much – on a single occasion or over time – can take a serious toll on your health. Here’s how alcohol and too much smoking can affect your body:
Brain:
Alcohol interferes with the brain’s communication pathways, and can affect the way the brain looks and works. These disruptions can change mood and behavior, and make it harder to think clearly and move with coordination.
Heart:
Drinking a lot over a long time or too much on a single occasion can damage the heart, causing problems including:
Cardiomyopathy – Stretching and drooping of heart muscle
Arrhythmias – Irregular heart beat
Stroke
High blood pressure

Research also shows that drinking moderate amounts of alcohol may protect healthy adults from developing coronary heart disease.
Liver:
Heavy drinking takes a toll on the liver, and can lead to a variety of
problems and liver inflammations including:
Steatosis, or fatty liver
Alcoholic hepatitis
Fibrosis
Cirrhosis
Pancreas:
Alcohol causes the pancreas to produce toxic substances that can eventually lead to pancreatitis, a dangerous inflammation and swelling of the blood vessels in the pancreas that prevents proper digestion.
Cance[/b]r:
Drinking too much alcohol can increase your risk of developing certain cancers, including cancers of the:
Mouth
Esophagus
Throat
Liver
Breast

[b]Immune System
:
Drinking too much can weaken your immune system, making your body a much easier target for disease. Chronic drinkers are more liable to contract diseases like pneumonia and tuberculosis than people who do not drink too much. Drinking a lot on a single occasion slows your body’s ability to ward off infections – even
up to 24 hours after getting drunk.

Effects of smoking cigarette on the body
Shortness of breath may be a sign of emphysema or heart disease.
Chest pain may signal angina pectoris caused by insufficient blood flow to the heart or a heart attack.
Difficulty swallowing, or persistent hoarseness, may signal a cancer in the mouth or larynx.
Painless bloody urination may signal bladder cancer.
The presence of any of the following common symptoms associated with tobacco use should prompt a visit to the doctor or hospital’s emergency department:
chest pain
shortness of breath
persistent cough
coughing up blood
frequent colds and upper respiratory infections
persistent hoarseness
difficulty or pain on swallowing
change in exercise capacity
sudden weakness on one side of the face or body; or difficulty speaking
leg pain while walking that goes away when at rest
unexplained weight loss
persistent abdominal pain
blood in the urine

From the above, the two ‘habits’ are not good for your health. please, love life and say no to murder (because you are silently killing yourself).

Enjoy good food: balance diet.
