Resumen
El alcohol y el tabaco son dos de las drogas más consumidas en el mundo. Ambas acarrean grandes problemas sociales y económicos que son objeto de preocupación mundial, por lo que entender cómo funcionan en el organismo es de gran interés. Se encuentra una gran prevalencia en alcohólicos y adictos al tabaco en los que se da un consumo conjunto de ambas sustancias.
El objetivo de esta revisión bibliográfica es el de dar una explicación a nivel neural de las relaciones en el proceso de la adicción entre el consumo de alcohol y de tabaco. Realizaremos una búsqueda exhaustiva entre los estudios y artículos publicados sobre este tema en los últimos años, ahondando sobre qué ocurre en nuestro cerebro cuando nos exponemos al alcohol y al tabaco para, posteriormente, señalar qué tienen en común ambas sustancias y por qué el consumo de una suele conllevar al consumo de la otra.
Alcohol and tobacco are two of the most consumed drugs in the world. Both carry great social and economic problems that are subject of global concern, so understanding how they work in our body is of great interest. It can be found that a high prevalence in alcoholics are also smokers, and vice versa, if they are given a set of both substances. The objective of this bibliographic review is to explain, at the neuronal level, the relationships in the process of addiction between the consumption of alcohol and tobacco. We will conduct an exhaustive search between articles and studies published about this topic in the last few years, delving into what happens in our brain when we are exposed to alcohol and tobacco and retrospectively indicate what both substances have in common and why the consumption of one leads to the other.
