Prevention of substance-related diseases - tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption

The prevalence of alcohol dependence in a German general hospital was estimated to be 17.2%. Among the in-patients there were 34.7% daily smokers among females and 49.8% among males. Screening of all patients for tobacco smoking and alcohol risk drinking is essential to overcome these most preventable single health risks.
