I guess it comes as no surprise that smoking makes MS worse, since it really doesn't seem to have any positive effects on any aspect of health. However, I was still a little surprised to see the results from some of these studies.
Let me start by saying that I am not going to harsh on anyone who smokes, who has smoked, who thinks they might take up smoking, so you don’t have to worry about any of that “noise” as you read this article. However, I do want to warn you that it looks like the news is not so good if you have ever smoked in your life – even if you quit a long time ago. Sorry, I wish I had something different to tell you.

Yup, looks like it does.
