“Tobacco and Alcohol worse than meth? Really? Anything worse than heroin? Really?”
The tobacco numbers are probably skewed, because there are no really reliable studies on what the lethal doses are of nicotine itself for humans. Alcohol, though, is a drug that is very easy to overdose on, and that is what this study measures, not long-term effects.
this “study” comes from bizarro land
It isn’t so easy to overdose on alcohol. Your body will reject it (vomit) or you will pass out before that limit is reached unless you are binging on a dare/initiation with so called ‘friends’.
Super-concentrated nicotine is lethal, in fact, it’s also a powerful pesticide, but the concentrations in cigarettes usually aren’t enough to kill you that quickly, it does wear and tear on the body over time. In short, it’s not the nicotine alone that’s causing the problems, it’s the damage to the lungs that generally does more, although the effects of smoking vary from person to person.
