Experts say the cigarette.
Even alcoholic smokers are more likely to die from problems caused by smoking than by drinking, they say. Though research is just beginning into links between smoking and alcoholism, a new study says smokers with a history of alcoholism may benefit from nicotine gum, patches and other substitutes for smoking. She was project manager for the study led by Professor of Psychiatry John R. Hughes. All volunteered to abstain from cigarettes for four days. . . The researchers found the subjects who had no history of alcoholism showed no preference for one gum, but the 20 recovering alcoholics chewed more milligrams of nicotine each day, Rose says.
