Smoking can harm the intestines
Smoking can harm the intestine and also increase the risk of developing Crohn's disease, according to a new study.
Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that affects the lining of the gastrointestinal tract causing severe pain.
" There is a high probability of occurrence in people with reactive airway disease (bronchospasm), suggesting that lung inflammation is related to intestinal inflammation," an expert said.

Smoking also increases the level of CD4 + T cells, a type of white blood cells, belonging to a type of pro-inflammatory protein called interferon-gamma.
These white blood cells are activated by cigarette smoke in the lungs, going to the colon to cause colitis, colitis-like Crohn's disease.
"Our results show that smoking activates specific lymphocytes in the lungs, which can then migrate to the large intestine, causing colitis ." - Experts explain.
Smokers, especially those with intestinal diseases, should also reduce smoking.
Researchers also found increased levels of mucus and inflammation in the colon, and blood in the stools of smoking mice.
