Smoking | The J-Pouch Group

Adam21Member

Do we have any smokers here - chain smokers or social smokers? I’m curious how smoking effects chronic pouchitis.

I’m a social smoker but lately been smoking 1-2 cigs per day. I see lot of articles and doctors prescribing against it. Is 3-4 cigs per week detrimental to pouchitis?

There is a chain on this forum about someone who uses nicotine patches to help treat pouchitis, I think, meaning nicotine can be beneficial, especially if the origin of the trouble that caused you to need a pouch was ulcerative colitis. I used to be a regular smoker and now I'm just an occasional social smoker. I have found alcohol to be irritating to the pouch and that usually accompanies the social smoking, so I'm unsure about the effects of smoking without drinking.

is it the nicotine that is the issue? what about smoking marijuana ?
