Alcohol is also bad but people tend to only drink on weekends but smokers seem to end up smoking everyday... They get so they cant be bothered to do anything anymore...
Maybe not in the UK but here people drink everyday. They drink much more than they smoke. There's an anual celebration here called "The burning of the ribbons" that's also known as "The burning of the livers" because during the 7 days that it lasts people drink 'till they're taken to the hospital in a coma!

I really don't think so. You close your garage and run the car and see how long you last (I hope its obvious I don't really want you to do this, you get the point).
That's because you die of carbon monoxide poisoning which is the most toxic substance you'll come into contact with in your daily life. That's also why you're not supposed to run your car in a closed spaced, unless you have a death wish. Does carbon monoxide kill faster? Yes, absolutely! But a cigarette's smoke will kill you just as well, it just takes longer. Oh, and let's not forget that carbon monoxide gives you a painless death whereas cigarettes' smoke will give you cancer which is extremely painful.
