The authors assessed the relation between cigarette smoking and nonspecific inflammatory bowel disease in a case-control study of 124 cases of ulcerative colitis, 109 cases of Crohn's disease, and 250 age- and sex-matched control subjects in hospital for acute nongastric or intestinal conditions unrelated to smoking. For ulcerative colitis, the risk for current smoking compared with never smoking was 0.5, with a 95% confidence interval (Cl) of 0.3-1.0. They observed decreasing risk with increasing number of cigarettes smoked. The risk for ex-smokers, however, was greater than that for never smokers (relative risk = 2.7; 95% Cl = 1.5-4.9). The elevated risk of ulcerative colitis in ex-smoking in the presence of an overall lack of association...
