This flareup that I'm going through is a killer. I spend so much time in pain on the toilet with little results other then frustration. I don't feel like eating 'cause I really don't want to spend any more time in the bathroom-14 times yesterday. Does smoking really relax you so that the toilet isn't hell on earth?
 
As with everything, it doesn't work for everyone but for me, smoking helped a great deal. It eased my nausea so I could eat and it even eased the pain. I don't think it helps with toilet trips, though...
 
It's different for everyone. It alleviated every symptom I had (bleeding, diarrhea, nausea, frequency of trips to the bathroom, stomach and joint pain). I've heard of people only needing to smoke every few days to maintain the benefits, and for others, myself included, symptoms will breakthrough after a few hours. You'll have to try it to see how it is for you.
