Hidradenitis and smoking

Abstract

Smoking is common in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa and may be a risk factor for the disease.1 Garg et al reported in a large, population-based, retrospective cohort study that apparently new hidradenitis was seen in 0.20% (7,860/3,924,310) of smokers versus 0.11% (8,430/8,027,790) of non-smokers over a 3 year period.2 They concluded that hidradenitis is twice as common among smokers, a finding that lay media have covered3, and suggest that populations at risk for hidradenitis be counselled for smoking cessation.2
