술 마시면 더 생각나는 담배, 이유 있었다 • Once again a New Year is here, and for some smokers, quitting the habit is often a resolution. • But the will to stop smoking often crumbles when drinks are on the table. • Ever wonder why the two seem to go together? • Well, now, a new study provides a scientific explanation for the link between the two. • Park Se-young reports. • Many people who drink alcohol also smoke --- which can be true even for people who aren't regular smokers. • Drinking can even feed a nicotine habit. • • I usually smoke once an hour, but when I drink I tend to smoke every 20 to 30 minutes. • • While drinking, some of my friends who have quit smoking say they want to smoke or they actually start smoking again. • There's a scientific explanation for why drinking and smoking seem to go hand in hand. • According to researchers from the University of Missouri School of Medicine, alcohol and nicotine enhance the pleasurable side effects of each other... and nicotine suppresses the sleep-inducing effects of alcohol. • They made the discovery after recording the sleep patterns of rats that were fitted with electrodes and given an alcohol and nicotine cocktail. • The finding also shows smoking contributes to the development of alcoholism and vice-versa. • • Once we understand the systems in the brain where the drugs are working, this would help us to curb alcohol and nicotine addiction. • The study was published last fall in the Journal of Neurochemistry. • Park Se-young, Arirang News. • Visit ‘Arirang News’ Official Pages • Facebook(NEWS): / newsarirang • Homepage: http://www.arirang.com • Facebook: / arirangtv • Twitter: / arirangworld • Instagram: / arirangworld
