WHO says 6 million people a year die because of tobacco and around 3.5 million because of alcohol (directly, then you have car accidents killing others and stuff) Not sure if you can say there "one is much worse as the other"
That's like saying one mass murder is a better person as the other just because one killed 1000 people and the other one killed 500 people.
But if people want it, they shall use it. Just not if they can harm others with it (smoking in public places, driving under influence of alcohol...)
I love to drink some alcoholic beverage from time to time for the taste (especially whisky, beer, port, wine) and I also see much more logic in that as to smoke cigarettes (which most who smoke only do because of addiction and not for the taste) but both sucks for many people^^
