A member asked:

I am diagnost with pancreatit is it dangerus if im smoking and drinking sometimes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Avoid alcohol: Alcohol can bring back your pancreatitis, it is dangerous and should be avoided. There is also an association with smoking and pancreatitis as well. Your body is telling you something, listen to it stop smoking and drinking.
