Smoking Cessation
for Osteoporosis
Smoking is a significant modifiable risk factor for osteoporosis — quitting reduces bone loss rate and improves fracture risk profile over time.
How it works
Smoking reduces oestrogen levels, impairs calcium absorption, and directly inhibits osteoblast activity. Nicotine and carbon monoxide decrease bone blood supply. Quitting reverses some of these effects progressively.
What to watch for
The benefit of quitting accumulates over years. Short-term benefit includes halting accelerated bone loss. Combine with exercise and adequate calcium/vitamin D for maximum bone benefit after quitting.
