Cigarette smoking is associated with a number of adverse health effects, including well-established links to cardiopulmonary disease and several cancers. Some of the other important systemic diseases associated with smoking are the subjects of this article, such as diabetes mellitus and insulin resistance, and thyroid diseases. Also reviewed here is the impact of smoking on male and female infertility, on selected dermatologic conditions, and on gastrointestinal diseases including peptic ulcer and inflammatory bowel diseases.
Some cutaneous lesions accompany or reveal endocrine disorders. Identifying the endocrinopathy is very important because it sometimes allows corrective rather than symptomatic treatment. The most frequenly involved diseases include thyrotoxicosis, hypothyroidism, the auto-immune disorders of thyroid, Cushing syndrome, Addison disease, acromegaly, androgen-dependent disorders, hypopituitarism, hypoparathyroidism, pseudohypoparathyroidism and diabetes mellitus.
