WHO SMOKES?
Researchers are curious about issues linked to smoking. In a review of 7547 patients who went through back surgery, they found that 18% were smokers. The researchers noted that contrasted with the non-smokers, the smokers were younger, male, nondiabetic, and nonobese. These patients who have coronary artery disease were more apt to be smokers. Smokers who had lumbar spine back surgery presented initially more with leg pain than back pain and disability. Their employment, insurance/uninsured, and education status were also linked to smoking status. Interestingly though, smoking status did not affect the disability status at a year after back surgery. (1) Altering such risk factors work equally well for smokers and nonsmokers luckily.

SMOKING’S EFFECTS ON THE BODY
The body knows what’s good for it…and what is not. Smoking isn’t. Studying 2307 smokers and non-smokers, researchers discovered that smoking is most strongly connected to spine pain. Headache, trunk pain and limb pain followed. Active smoking is linked to pain in every part of the body. The spine and head withstand the force of the painful effect though. If a smoker does not like pain, you’ll want to consider stop smoking! (2) New Hampshire Spine and Sport is with you to back your attempt to stop smoking when you’re ready.
