By comparing the relationship between back pain and smoking habits, scientists found that smokers were 31% more likely to have short-term back pain than those who didn't. smoke.

Among those with chronic back pain and severe back pain, the relationship between smoking and back pain is very obvious; on the contrary, those who quit smoking had a much lower back pain than smokers.
