Smoking is known to increase risks of getting multiple sclerosis, but it's said that not much research has gone into if it's a risk to people who already have multiple sclerosis.
Well, those with multiple sclerosis and they smoke, have a higher risk of brain lesions and brain shrinkage.
Nicotine may disrupt the blood-brain barrier and the toxins in cigarette smoke may be a constant, inflammatory irritant.
Damage that's caused from smoking cannot be reversed and there isn't any proof that smoking will decrease the symptoms caused by MS.
In any case, Smoking should be given up for general health purposes anyway.
