Alcohol and tobacco are two hazards to health; they harm our body.



Does the underlined part sound right to you? Thanks.

Alcohol and tobacco are both health hazards; they harm our body.

or

Alcohol and tobacco are both hazardous to health; they harm our body.


I like the first one, but the second one is more in keeping with your meaning.

In such a generalized statement, QD, (especially with the use of "our") you should go with the plural "bodies".

I also think that you should qualify "health" ie: "Alcohol and tobacco are two hazards to good health". Just using the word "health" doesn't seem quite right. If you reworded your statement and said:

"Alcohol and tobacco are unhealthy", this denotes "bad" health. This is why I think your statement has to refer to "good" health.
