I never crave cigarettes unless i'm drinking alcohol. Is this normal?
I consider myself a 'smoker' but never wnt one unless i'm drinking alcohol.
Very, very normal. Everyone knows at least one person who only smokes when they drink. I like that you're not in denial about being a smoker. Usually people that only smoke when they drink say things like "I'm not addicted". It's definitely the first step to becoming a full blown daily smoker.
A friend of mine from high-school only smoked when he drank for 12 years. He finally gave in and became an everyday smoker.
I don't want to be preachy, but it is definitely better to quit now. It won't get any easier.
Well i would like to contradict here by quoting an example. One of my friends is a chain smoker , and he smokes whole day long , no matter he is drinking or not.
SO the person who is actually addicted to smoking will smoke anyhow which is not a good habbit anyways as it kills the internal body parts and caused huge damages
I know someone like that...he doesn't consider himself a 'smoker' though. This has been going on for the seven years I've known him with no sign of him becoming a regular daily smoker.
There is this long standing joke :
You know, I am not a regular smoker, but I smoke only when I drink. Again I am not a regular drinker, but I drink only on Parties. I am not a party type - but I go to parties only if my GF invites ...............
It goes like that ....Hope you get the gist.
Anybody who smokes is a smoker - whether regularly or only on occasions.

I have a friend that is 3 months pregnant and has been drinking alcohol like a fish! I haven't said anything to her because it is her body, her baby, and her choice. But I can't help but be angry with her every time I see her do this. I also feel guilty that by not saying...
