Is it

Shots?

First hint

My first teapot is hurting

Alcohol Shots

My second teapot is hurting way too much

A shot from a gun?

Second Hint

My first teapot is an escape

Alcohol shot helps to escape the reality

My second teapot is the exit

Gun shots helps to exit the reality

Third Hint

My first teapot is a pleasure

Alcohol shots can be taken for one's pleasure

My second teapot can be too

Gun shots maybe for those who likes to hunt

Final Hint

My first teapot is less deadly than my second teapot, but is responsible for more deaths

Alcohol maybe causes more death than gun shots.

Here we go. I'm not sure about this one, but my guess is

INTOXICATION

Meanings:

Alcohol intoxication. Poisoning.

My first teapot is hurting. My second teapot is hurting way too much

Alcohol intoxication has some undesirable effects. Poisoning hurts.

My first teapot is an escape. My second teapot is the exit

Getting drunk allows people to "escape from their problems". Getting poisoned can kill you.

My first teapot is a pleasure. My second teapot can be too

People like getting drunk. Death can be something desirable for certain people.

My first teapot is less deadly than my second teapot, but is responsible for more deaths

Alcohol is less deadly than poison, but alcohol causes way more deaths than poison.

  • $\begingroup$ Just to be clear: I used "poisoning" in a broad meaning (food poisoning, carbon monoxide poisoning, poison poisoning). Is it wrong as a whole, or is the answer a more specific kind of poisoning? $\endgroup$
