Best Answer

Smoking normally involves tobacco, which contains nicotine, the more important of the chemicals in the plant. Drinking normally involves ethanol. Both are drugs with noticeable effects on the body.

Tolerance describes how well a body can adapt to and overcome or "ignore" the effects of a drug. Dependence describes the body's physical (the body cannot function at all without it), physiological (the body refuses to function without it) or psychological (the mind refuses to let the body function without it) need for that drug.
