How many cigarettes are there in a bottle of wine?
The links between smoking and cancer risk are well established and reflected in high public awareness, heavy taxes and advertising bans. But the links between moderate alcohol consumption and cancer risk are less well communicated. New research published in BMC Public Health, compares cancer risks between alcohol and tobacco so that people can make better informed judgments.
