What do you think, are more Poles addicted to cigarettes or alcohol?

On Sunday, while doing shopping in the local store, I noticed that every other person was buying alcohol only. To be honest, I was terrified by the scale of it. Out of 15 people in line, over half came only for high-proof spirits. Not to mention, it was only 12 o'clock... I wonder if Poles are more addicted to cigarettes or alcohol. How can we fight these addictions by introducing some top-down bans? Perhaps the government should take care of it, considering the direction our society is heading?

In my opinion, in order to warn Poles, we should show how badly alcohol and cigarettes can affect our life, not only our health but our whole life.

"

Stores with their promotions like 'buy 6 packs and get the second one 50% cheaper' encourage people to buy larger quantities of alcohol. Is it cheaper to buy 0.5 liter of vodka than to buy 0.1 liter. On weekends, with bad weather, it seems okay to have a drink while watching a movie, but then addictions come, and there comes a moment when you think 'ah, a 4-pack for the evening is nothing'."

No, they are not addicted, but when it comes to spending money lightly, that's true. If they run out of money, the addiction will pass. It's different for thieves who steal for alcohol, but not everyone steals even though they like alcohol or cigarettes. Many addicts give up their addiction when they run out of money.

"In my opinion, it seems that more Poles are addicted to alcohol than to cigarettes. An example from a neighborhood store, where most people only bought alcohol, can be one of the indicators of this tendency. Of course, it is worth remembering that this is just one of many places where such behavior can be observed. Regardless of the numbers, fighting addiction is an important social problem. However, we should not forget about individual rights and the need to respect their freedom of choice. Imposing bans from above can generate controversy and is not always an effective solution. It is important to educate society about the harmfulness of addictive substances and provide support to those addicted so that they can seek treatment and recover. This is a task that requires the collaboration of various institutions such as healthcare service, law enforcement agencies, public education, and non-governmental organizations. The government can play an important role in coordinating these efforts and creating appropriate preventative and treatment programs. However, social engagement and awareness of every individual regarding the negative consequences of addiction are incredibly important in achieving positive changes in our society."

The question of what came first, the egg or the chicken? Firstly, there is a difference here because with addiction, there are many people who drive with a cigarette, but only those who succeed with a glass. Nowadays, four wheels are like a family member, so a lot is signed under those wheels. And just like you can refuse to drink because there is a reason "I am driving", only a smoking ban in a particular place can forbid someone from smoking. The simple conclusion is that certainly more people smoke and drink than just drink because when it comes to alcohol, it also draws people towards cigarettes.
