It's easier to convince yourself that "just one" won't hurt when your brain is a bit addled. We KNOW that there is never such a thing to an addict as "just one."  It will always be followed by another - maybe not right away - but ALWAYS. 

There is a scientific research to support that it is not a good idea to drink alcohol when quitting smoking

"..alcohol acts on brain receptors to increase the craving to smoke and decrease the time between cigarettes. ..."

Please just don't drink.  A quit is a terrible thing to lose.

I smoked until a vascular surgeon informed me of the damage I had done to myself by doing so. I quit 11 years ago, and I can swim laps virtually FOREVER now, walk most other days 40 minutes to an hour and a half. What a difference quitting has made in my life! I strive to help others find this wonderful freedom from addiction, too.
