Popis:	Few patients with ulcerative colitis smoke. We have demonstrated that smoking affects colonic mucus production and human immune mechanisms in vitro and this may have relevance to the pathogenesis of the disease. There is anecdotal evidence to suggest that nicotine may be the active moiety associated with smoking responsible for these effects, but we have been unable to confirm this in in vitro test systems.
