wow you have a lot on your hands
Effect-drowsiness, heavy around the eye, dry and crackly lips, weak body all the time
Long time effect- Lung cancer, Liver disease
life span-might not be long
your friend needs to be helped! they has to be a way to do that. try challenging to quitting and then offering a reward at the end. if his drinking and smoking is too heavy, heavy enough to take his life, then try rehab and maybe still his cigarettes and beers and hide it(lolz if that is possible but don't do that)
Either way, somethingg needs to be done. intervention is the first step to dealing with this and for him its' probably accepting that he has that problem or else no progress will be made at all..

Chain smoking and smoking have initially the same effects. Here is a link to explain the effects of it:

The life span is harder to say. It all depends on how much the person smokes or drinks and how tolerant they are, how they treat their health outside of these two areas.

From this link ([Link](Mouse over link to see full location)) it says: Your Smoking Habits: Smoking can affect your life span more dramatically than any other lifestyle factor. If you smoke two or more packs a day, subtract eight years from your baseline life expectancy; if you smoke one to two packs a day, subtract five years; and if you smoke less than one pack a day, are regularly exposed to secondhand smoke, or smoke cigars or a pipe, subtract two years.
Your Drinking Habits: While heavy drinking can shorten your life span, light drinking can lengthen it. If you're a heavy drinker (more than four drinks a day), subtract seven years from your baseline life expectancy; if you're a light drinker (one to three drinks a day), add two years; if you're a light drinker who generally consumes red wine, add three years; if you don't drink, don't add or subtract.
I hope that helps! Feel free to google it for more information.
