    Which one would you give up if you had to, (that's if you even do both of course?)

    I think I would give up drinking, while I am partial to a nice glass of whiskey after work there's nothing more relaxing than a nice smoke.

    What would you do?

    I would and did give up smoking. While i really like to smoke, and did so for 15 years, I think smokes are much more damaging to you then drink. Of course drinking can severely affect your health as well if not done in moderation, but not as much as a pack/day can. Thankfully now that I vape I`ve eliminated that problem from my life completely.

    I agree with the whole pack a day thing, but I just guess it depends on what you drink, I do like my spirits and an old guy down my street has a glass of whiskey every morning and he still walks to and from the supermarket every morning... At the age of a hundred!

    Suppose it depends on your preferences.

    I had to make that choice awhile back and chose the smokes, thankfully vaping made that process a whole lot easier lol.

    Honestly, I used to love nothing more than a nice smoke with my cold beer in the evening but now I can't imagine ruining the taste of a beer with a cig. I've tried awhile back and I had to wash my mouth out with a big string hit from my vape lol

    Drinking and vaping seem to work very well together and it is awesome in this regard, since I also enjoy a few beers in the evening and vaping alongside them does not really seem to be much different then when I used to smoke.

    I can imagine a few beers and vaping would go hand in hand at a barbeque, especially with coming up to summer where I'm located.

    I'm not a drinker, I don't like alcohol at all. So I would rather smoke than drink.

    That is a tough decision. I think I would choose to give up drinking, although I wouldn't want to pick one or the other at this time.

    I don't think I would ever want to give up drinking. For me drinking is a social thing (and I like the whole ritual of having drinks with friends and family) and smoking really isn't.

    Isn't giving up smoking why we're all here? :mrgreen:

    Anyway, I would prefer drinking as there's nothing better than a cold beer. Combine that with some good vapor and you're all set.

    I would go with the drink, I think, though I don't do so as much these days. I do enjoy a good gin & tonic, scotch & soda, or bourbon & water. In roughly that order.

    Definetely drinking. Though I love beer, I'd rather enjoy a good cigarette than drink wine or beer or anything else. It's less harmful and indeed it looks bad-ass and artsy. When I go out I usually smoke more than I drink. So smoking for the win!

    I'd rather smoke because it relaxes me in many ways. Besides that alcohol may cause worse things. In addition to that smoking also gives me a fancy feeling so I vote for smoking.

    Ooh, tough decision! Drinking makes for a more enjoyable time for me, but smoking is more relaxed and carefree. I'd have to go with smoke, but it's a tough call.

    I could probably give up both, really easy. But I'd rather be able to have a nice glass of gin and tonic whenever I felt like.

    I agree with you. Also drinking makes you walk funny and do weird stuff if you do it too much. It's not my type, I guess.

    If I had to choose between drinking and smoking, I would definitely choose drinking. Personally I think smoking is a harder habit to quit, you can only drink to a certain point, but with smoking, you can do that all day with out a lot of affects. Plus the smell of alcohol wears off easily, the smell of smoke sticks to your clothes, car, rooms, carpet, hair, skin. I would choose drinking over smoking any day.

    Well, for over-smoking you could get nausea sensations, and even throw up. It depends on how sensitive you are. But drinking is much worse.

    I am going to have to go with drinking, but it all depends on what I'm drinking. I am huge on craft beer, so if you're asking if I would rather drink a good IPA versus vaping- The beer is going to win in the long run.

    I quite like the social aspect of drinking. None of my friends smoke, so it's a more solitary activity. I would give up smoking if I had to choose :)
