Cigarettes vs. Alcohol: A Polish Dietician Weighs the Harms

A recent video comparing the health risks of alcohol and cigarettes has sparked discussion. The video, created by Polish dietician Michał Wrzosek, presents statistics on addiction rates and health consequences in Poland and globally. Wrzosek uses a point system to compare the two substances, with points awarded for factors like addiction rates and societal impact. He cites data indicating that 28% of Polish adults smoke, a figure that's rising. The video also highlights the significant number of children raised in families with alcohol problems. Dr. Andrzej Silczuk, a psychiatrist, and mgr Kasia Andrusikiewicz, a psychotherapist, provide expert commentary on the psychological aspects of addiction. While the video promotes Wrzosek's services, its core message is the serious health risks associated with both alcohol and cigarettes.
