Summary

Besides normal aging, genetic and environmental factors are important potential determinants of lumbar disc degeneration. Smoking causes serious health problems, particularly lung and other cancers, heart disease and respiratory diseases, and is among the most common causes of death worldwide. Besides these commonly known diseases related to smoking numerous studies have shown that smoking has detrimental effects on the musculoskeletal system and worsens the prognosis and treatment of leukomotor diseases. In the literature there are studies examining the effect of smoking status on disc degeneration. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of current, former and passive smoking status on degeneration of lumbar intervertebral discs.
