Why some alcoholics find it hard to quit smoking

Joe P. from New Jersey said in an email to unhooked.com:

"The reason most Alcoholics find it so hard (to quit smoking) is because they get NO support from AA members, they tell them not to worry, just don't drink. That way of AA (Majority members, mostly Nicotine Addicts, even though there are a lot of others who say the same thing) is the way of Death!"

Joe should know, he is a long time member of AA who supports Nicotine Anonymous.
