Do you know why people use to say that smoking is even more dangerous to health than drinking? Well, I have been in the state of chain smoking for the last few days and now I have witnessed the very side effects of smoking. First of all it affects the chest and lungs. Your lips will become dry most of the time. There must be pain in the chain. Also sometimes when you play some games, then you will feel like your lungs are having some problems of dryness during some physical works. Also TB is the consequence of smoking. Also it constricts the veins and arteries and therefore results in the increase of blood pressure. Heart attack is also related to chain smoking.

I have personally experienced a lot about the affect of smoking and drinking. Well, first of all it decreases the thinking power of brain and results in short term loss of memory. Also sometimes it creates many problems while sleeping especially at night time. The gum and the lips become black due to chain smoking. One main reason why smoking is more badly affects the life of a person than the drinking. Smoking is easily available in any place and also at low price. This helps people to smoke more frequently than drinking. But on the other hand drinks are available rarely and this helps people to drink rarely than smoking. But heavy drinking is even more dangerous than smoking.
