摘要

Objective: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) consists of Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Crohn's Disease (CD). The etiology of IBD has been studied and is still unknown, but several risk factors have been associated with the disease. Possible risk factors include genetic predisposition, oral contraceptive use and cigarette smoking. It is important to further research the link between cigarette smoking and IBD. Methods: Reviews and studies were obtained in order to evaluate the relationship between IBD and smoking. Discussion: Current cigarette smoking was found to increase the relative risk of developing Crohn's Disease and decrease the risk of developing Ulcerative Colitis.Conclusion: Although cigarette smoking seems to be protective against developing UC, the other risks associated with cigarettes far outweigh the possible benefits. In order to better understand the connection between IBD and cigarette smoking, it would be necessary to further research the causative mechanism of UC and CD. Introduction Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is comprised of Crohn's Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and affects approximately 1 million Americans (1). The estimated total annual direct (including hospital visits and medications) and indirect (including productivity loss) cost of IBD in the United States ranges from $1.8 to $2.6 billion (2). Although the exact cause of IBD is not known, several genetic and environmental risk factors have been identified for developing this disease. Cigarette smoking is the most examined risk factor for IBD and is said to have different effects on CD and UC (1). Healthcare practitioners are generally aware of the increased risk of COPD, various types of cancer and coronary artery disease that is associated with tobacco use; however, several studies have suggested that cigarette smoking can have a protective effect on UC and a causative relationship with UC (1). In fact, this controversy may lead patients with IBD to question providers about non-conventional treatments that involve nicotine (1). Therefore, it is important to know the impact that cigarette smoking has on IBD so practitioners can then counsel patients on all the risks of cigarette smoking versus the possible benefits. Background IBD is defined as chronic inflammation of the digestive tract of unknown etiology and is divided into UC and CD. IBD most commonly affects Caucasians in Northern Europe and North America. Specifically, Ashkenazi Jews are four times more likely to have IBD than Caucasians (3). There seems to be a familial trend associated with IBD because family members of a patient with IBD have an increased risk of developing UC or CD; 50 times higher than the rest of the population (3). There also appears to be a bimodal distribution of diagnoses of IBD, as it peaks at age 15 to 25 and again at age 55 to 65 (3). The etiology of UC is unknown. One theory is that patients are genetically predisposed to develop UC. These patients many incur an insult to the mucosa of the lining of the colon and have an altered immune system response to flora found naturally in the gut. There are several recognized risk factors for developing UC including being Jewish and chronically using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (2). The nicotine in cigarettes is said to act as an immunosuppressant because cigarette smoking has been shown to decrease immunoglobulins including IgG, IgM and IgA (4). It has also been speculated that there is a relationship between UC and oral contraception use, breast-feeding, second-hand smoke, the MDR1 gene, socioeconomic status, psychological conditions and childhood infections (5). Ulcerative colitis causes chronic inflammation of the mucosa of the large intestine and affects the rectum. The severity of this disease varies greatly from patient to patient. The pattern of inflammation is continuous throughout parts of the colon. For example, proctosigmoiditis signifies that the inflammation affects the rectum and the
