Tobacco smoke injures every part of the respiratory organs. It inflamed the lining membrane of the nose, throat, trachea,
and lungs. It produces coughing. It so injures the lining of the lungs that lung cancer and other diseases are more likely to be contracted.
All kinds of alcohol also injure the body. When a man drinks alcohol it can be smelled on his breath in just a short time after it has been drunk. This is due to the fact that as soon as the alcohol has entered the blood and has been carried to the lungs, the lungs try to get rid of the poison as quickly as possible. It is well established that drinking of alcohol renders one less able able to overcome infections of the lungs.
