A member asked:
Can smoking hurt your thyroid?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Probably not: Smoking is probably one of the worst things you can do to your health. However, I am not aware of any evidence that connects smoking with thyroid disease. There is an association between smoking and developing thyroid eye disease in people who have graves's disease, but that is not related to the thyroid itself.

What does it help?: Indirectly as it damages blood vessels, nerves and other organs. What part of your body does smoking help?
