What are the risks of smoking without a thyroid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
All the usual risks: All the same risks of smoking with a thyroid, many cancers, heart disease, copd, etc. If you have grave's disease (hyperthyroidism) or if you ever had graves disease, smoking exacerbates the eye disease (ophthalmopathy) that can occur.
