Abstract
Tobacco smoking has been a global health problem for many years. It has especially worsened since the mass production of tobacco products. Tobacco smoking provokes various diseases, including endocrine diseases, and contributes to their progression. It is now known about the role of genetic predisposition to the development of thyroid pathology and the potential role of various environmental factors in the manifestation of thyroid diseases. Along with iodine intake, tobacco smoking is a significant risk factor affecting the functional status and volume of the thyroid gland. The introduction of electronic cigarettes as an alternative to tobacco products has raised a legitimate question: what effect do they have on thyroid status? The current literature review highlights current knowledge on the effects of smoking on the thyroid, including its relationship to changes in thyroid function and the development and progression of thyroid disorders.
