Despite the many health risks of smoking and drinking, there may be an upside.
Men who smoke and drink are seen as more attractive to women looking for a casual fling or short-term relationship, according to a new study.
Researchers found that this behaviour is seen as more 'risky', and this makes them more appealing to women not looking for love.
The study was carried out by Eveline Vincke and her colleagues at Ghent University in Belgium.
Her team interviewed 239 women aged 17 to 30.
