Except it isn't. Your liver can recover, your lungs just tar the fuck up.
Smoking depresses you and suppresses appetite. Absolute WORST shit for social get togethers, especially when food is involved. On top of smelling like absolute ass and tasting like dog shit. Nicotine is the ONLY part you faggots like, and you can just shove it on a patch now and slap a pacifier in your mouth for the oral fixation.
Alcohol on the other hand, is social lubricant. Tasty, refreshing, relaxing, and important for social gatherings: stops your dumb ass from overthinking shit. And it also drop inhibitions. So if you want to get laid? Drinks help that. Obviously feminists made it illegal, but back then it massively helped awkward adults get married and shit. And alcohol evaporates and goes away - the left behind bit smells good. And if you hate alcohol taste there are mixed drinks where you can't even taste it to get fucked up.
