Dr. Anurag Shetty, Consultant- Medical Gastroenterology, KMC Hospital Mangaluru, sheds light on GERD in this insightful article. He mentions that the lower oesophagal sphincter (LES) acts as a vital barrier, allowing food to enter the stomach while preventing the backward flow of stomach contents.
Smoking not only weakens the valve mechanism of the food pipe but also increases stomach acid levels, reduces salivation, and damages the oesophagal lining, all of which can contribute to worsening GERD, making it vital to quit smoking for better health outcomes.
