Smoking and Crohn's?

[JamieKerr]

I am 17 years old and I suffer from Crohn's. I have smoked for around 11 months and I just recently quit, a week ago to be exact. I am really worried about the effects this lifestyle could have made on my body, please help me with your knowledge in the comments, they will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jamie. Good for you! Never pick it up again if you can help it.

Hi, Jamie
Giving up is a really good move and your body should be feeling the benefits even after one week. No point worrying about the time you spent smoking.
Onwards a nd upwards.

Keep up the good work Jamie. Smoking makes Crohn's worse.

Don't give up.

Hi jamie, well done you :dance: keep it up,i gave up when i had a resection op 17/18 mths ago, best thing i ever did, not only for the crohn's but in general. it really is not good to smoke with crohn's it can really make things worse, iv not had a flare since my op n think it has a lot to do with giving up smoking,as well as a few other minor adjustments.. sending support n best wishes,:ghug:
