Background：A number of epidemiological and medical studies have clearly documented the negative effects of smoking on health. The purpose of this study was to figure out the prevalence of smoking and the relationship between smoking status and alcohol drinking. Method：This study was carried out from April, 10th, 2000 to May, 30th, 2000 in 448 male adult lived in Seoul. We performed by using questionnaire, which includes demographic data, smoking status, alcohol drinking history, and stress levels by using the ‘Brief Encounter Psychosocial Instrument (BEPI)’. Results：The never smoker, ex-smoker, and smoker (mild-smoker, moderatesmoker, and heavy-smoker) constituted 24.3%, 13.4%, and 62.3% (8.5%, 31.0%, and 22.8%) of subjects respectively. Among the demographic data, the factors that were significantly associated with smoking status were monthly income, religion, and physical exercise. Compared with non-smokers and ex-smokers, smokers were more likely to lower monthly income, not exercise actively, and have no religion. Among the relationship between smoking status and alcohol drinking, smokers had higher incidence of alcohol drinkers and higher frequency of alcohol drinking than non-smokers and exsmokers. Drinkers of heavy-smokers had higher amounts of alcohol drinking than never-smokers and mild-smokers. The age of alcohol drinking initiation preceded that of smoking initiation. There was no significant relationship between smoking status and the scores of BEPI. Conclusion：The smoking status was significantly associated with monthly income, religion, and physical exercise of life style and alcohol drinking. So we suggest that reduction of smoking play an important role in abstinence of alcohol drinking, reduction of alcohol consumption and better life style.
