Smoking increases alcohol intake

Canadian scientists conducted experiments on rats and found that the amount of alcohol consumed by mice increased due to nicotine stimulation.

Experiments conducted by a medical research center in Toronto showed that mice trained on alcohol consumption were rewarded with the equivalent of nicotine contained in 10 to 15 cigarettes, and their alcohol consumption was increased by 30% compared to usual.

When researchers used drugs to "turn off" nicotine receptors in mouse brains, the mice's alcohol consumption dropped by 40%.

According to relevant information, about 90% of alcoholics have an addiction. The new discoveries of scientific researchers show that if you want to help some people bid farewell to their drinking habits, they should also help them quit smoking.
