Question by onetime: How harmful is cocaine in relation to alcohol and tobacco?
The wiki article for cocaine says “Health problems from the use of legal substances, particularly alcohol and tobacco, are greater than health problems from cocaine use.” BUT then they have a picture there that lists cocaine as the second most harmful and addictive drug… so… WTF?

Answer by Red Fairy
It has a lot to do with your central nervous system. You central nervous system controls everything. Your hearing, whether you can feel hot or cold, the fact that you are aware you are being spoken to – EVERYTHING. Basically anything that would require a message being sent to your brain.

Alcohol and drugs can affect and damage your central nervous system – but the affects are short term with alcohol, and longer term with drugs. Cocaine is particularly bad. It can mess you up quickly, and get in the way of all other message being sent to your brain via receptors.

WIth regards to smoking – this harms your body too, but with much more of a delay than cocaine.
