I'm not a smoker, but congrats on killing two vices at once.

I don't drink. And I don't smoke. So no..
Thanks to AA and a god of my understanding I have handed vices over. At least most of them. I don't live that way anymore.

How about you? Are you done drinking?

What advice did you want?

not done drinking or smoking yet but want to change my ways

I don't think the connection between increased smoking and drinking holds past the point of being a casual user of each substance. At the end I drank like a fish and smoked like a chimney. I've stopped drinking, but still smoke like a chimney. Alcohol was interfering with my life more than smoking. But I know smoking is killing me, I just haven't got to the point of giving it up. What will it take for me to give up smoking? Frankly, I don't know.

Guess, I picked the one that was causing me the most trouble in the here and now, and focused on quitting that one.

There is a definite correlation although people usually notice it in the other direction. There is also cross tolerance

I quit smoking and drinking on the same day.

Seems that there's a relationship. I will say though, that many people at AA meetings are smoking like chimneys and pretty caffeinated.

When I stopped drinking and was in a rehab, I noticed that smoking made me want to drink. It somehow seemed related in someway.

However, now that I've stopped drinking and not in rehab, I feel like I'd kill for a cigarette in lieu of drinking. I don't smoke that much, and I'm assuming you are speaking of nicotine cigs, and not weed.

To me, there is a correlation. Have not been able to put my finger on it just yet.

I don't smoke, but I did years ago, and it seems those two habits went together for me. Some day I did not even smoke until I had my first drink so. Yes for me it did.
