Answer 1

Yes smoking can cause back pain.

Smoking increases the risk of getting affected from low back pain with sciatica (back pain that spreads out to the hip and/or leg due to pressure on a nerve). Of late researchers have confirmed that smoking causes back pain. In fact, they have discovered that smokers are more likely to develop back pain than the non-smokers.

Why Smoking Causes Back pain

Smoking can cause sore back either directly or indirectly. Smoking clogs up the arteries that impair the supple of blood and oxygen to the lower spine. This deteriorates the spinal disks.

Smoking blocks the body’s ability in delivering nutrients to the discs of the lower back. With inadequate nutrition the tissues of the lower back gets damaged, which finally results in back aches.

Nicotine from cigarettes affects the way the brain sends its pain signals.

Heavy smoking leading to chronic coughing also causes back pain, indirectly.

Smokers who are less physically fit than nonsmokers have more risk of developing back pain.

Smoking which slows down the healing process, prolongs pain for people with back injuries, broken bones, or who have undergone back surgery.
