Acute pancreatitis can smoke?

Patients with acute pancreatitis should not smoke.

Smoking has many hazards for patients with acute pancreatitis. First, smoking can cause vasoconstriction, affecting the blood supply to the pancreas. The pancreas itself has been damaged in acute inflammation, and the reduction of blood supply will further hinder its recovery and repair, which is not conducive to the remission of the disease. Second, smoking will reduce the body's immunity. In acute pancreatitis, the body needs stronger immunity to fight inflammation and promote recovery, and smoking weakens this important defense mechanism, which may make the disease more likely to deteriorate or develop complications. Furthermore, smoking increases the risk of lung disease.

Patients with acute pancreatitis are physically weak, and if smoking causes lung problems, it will undoubtedly bring greater difficulties and challenges to treatment and recovery. Patients should visit the hospital regularly to monitor the progress of the disease.
