title: Alcohol or tobacco research versus alcohol and tobacco research.
abstract: Despite the frequent co-occurrence of tobacco and alcohol use, little is known about relationships between alcohol and nicotine. This paper reviews similarities and differences between tobacco and alcohol use, offers speculation about why a marriage of the two fields has been so long in coming, and discusses the multiple scientific and therapeutic benefits that could derive from the study of individuals who use both drugs.
