Scientists have discovered why some people smoke when they drink alcohol

Despite the number of people who are regular smokers steadily declining, a lot of people are still choosing to smoke cigarettes when they drink alcohol. These are called 'social smokers', people who go out into the smoking areas to get out of the throng inside and have a chat with friends while cradling a cigarette in their hands. Until now, there seemed to be no logic in this other than to socialise...

But according to a recent study, people crave the stimulant effect provided by the nicotine which helps to counteract the drowsiness and sleepiness that alcohol gives you. The Medical Daily are reporting that in addition to the stimulating effects, nicotine can also enhance some of the more pleasant effects of alcohol and make you want to drink even more. It's too bad that smoking cigarettes is terrible for your health and greatly increases your chances of developing cancer.
