Smoking has many harmful effects on the body and is prone to induce many diseases, but no association has been found between it and urinary stones.
Urinary stones are one of the most common diseases of the urinary system, and their common triggering factors include: congenital urinary malformations, urinary tract infections, abnormalities in calcium and phosphorus metabolism, and hyperuricemia, etc., but not smoking, and no link has been found between the formation of stones and smoking.
Although smoking does not lead to the formation of urinary stones, long-term smoking is closely associated with a variety of diseases, such as emphysema, lung cancer, atherosclerosis, etc. In particular, long-term smokers have a greatly increased risk of developing urological malignancies, such as renal cancer and uroepithelial cancer.
