I HATE SMOKING: Smoking and Rheumatoid Arthritis

Aside from lung diseases and heart problems, studies show that smoking increases the risk of having rheumatoid arthritis.

Based on a research using the records of 30,000 women (age 55-69) enrolled in the Iowa Women's Health Study, those who smoke are twice at risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis as compared to non-smokers. They also found out that…

· The more cigarettes you smoked each day, the higher your risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis
· The more years you spent smoking, the higher your risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis
· The risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis among former smokers is lower than that of current smokers
