SMOKING SABOTAGE: HOW SMOKING WRECKS YOUR DIGESTION



Smoking is injurious to health, it affects our lung health and can lead to
cancer in the long run, is a well-known fact. But have you ever wondered how
those puffs impact your gut health? Let’s clear the air and know how smoking
impacts your digestive health and its repercussions.

Does smoking impact digestive health?

Yes! First, the smoke damages your taste buds and smell receptors, impacting
your ability to enjoy food and potentially affecting appetite. Smoking hinders
absorption of essential nutrients like vitamins B12, D, and E, leading to
deficiencies. 

Smoking relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter, the muscular valve between your
stomach and esophagus. This causes stomach acid to flow back up into the
esophagus, causing heartburn or Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) that is,
stomach acid repeatedly flows back into the tube connecting your mouth and
stomach. smoking weakens the protective lining of your stomach and
esophagus, increasing the risk of ulcers. 

Does smoking impact our gut and gut microbiota?

The normal balance of bacteria is crucial for efficient digestion. Smoking harms
the diverse community of bacteria living in your gut, crucial for digestion and
overall health. When specific bacteria increase due to smoking, it can disrupt
this balance, leading to bloating, gas, and other digestive issues.

According to recent studies (2023) smoking increases the abundance of certain
bacteria, such as Prevotella spp. and Desulfovibrio spp. 

Impact of Prevotella spp. and Desulfovibrio spp.

Prevotella spp. are often associated with inflammatory bowel diseases like
Crohn's disease.  It causes swelling of the tissues (inflammation) in your
digestive tract, which can lead to abdominal pain, severe diarrhea, fatigue,
weight loss and malnutrition.

Desulfovibrio spp. can produce harmful compounds that contribute to inflammation
and damage the gut lining.

Smoking encourages the growth of other harmful bacteria while reducing
beneficial ones, leading to not only inflammation and digestive issues but also
impacting heart and brain. It also weakens the gut barrier by damaging the tight
junctions between gut cells, making your gut "leakier." This allows harmful
substances and toxins to enter your bloodstream, triggering inflammation and
contributing to various health problems

What is the long term consequence of smoking on the gut?

Indirectly smoking is the cause for many other chronic ailments. A healthy gut
microbiome supports a strong immune system. Smoking-induced changes can weaken
this support, making you more susceptible to infections. Recent research
suggests links between smoking-induced microbiome changes even colorectal
cancer, heart disease, and obesity. 

The Good News

Scientists think fixing your gut bacteria might help prevent and treat diseases
caused by smoking. Quitting smoking can reverse these harmful effects. Your gut
bacteria start to recover within weeks, and the leaky gut barrier repairs
itself. This reduces the risk of various digestive problems and improves your
overall health. Remember quitting smoking is one of the best things you can do
for your gut and overall health.
