Statement: Alcohol is the new smoking
Strongly agree
Strongly disagree
We begin this blog with a statement, and you can share your opinion on it. We will give some arguments why this statement might be true, but also why this comparison is not helpful.
Reasons for the many similarities between smoking and alcohol:
Alcohol and smoking are both addictive.
On the one hand, the government advises against both, but on the other hand, it also benefits from them through consumption taxes.
Alcohol and smoking are both carcinogenic and cause other diseases as well.
Smoking and alcohol consumption differ for the following reasons:
Smokers often smoke a large amount at once, whereas most people can enjoy one alcoholic drink without overdoing it.
Alcohol has several advantages. For example, it has a relaxing effect and (provided one doesn't consume too much) provides a lot of pleasure. Smoking does not offer these advantages.
And thirdly: Alcohol has existed for about 10,000 years, while cigarettes have only existed for about 150 years.
This statement has its pros and cons. Whether you agree or disagree is up to you. The main thing is that you buy your non-alcoholic beers from us 🙂
