The relation between diabetes and smoking is well known for long. About one in five people living with diabetes is a smoker, adding to their basal cardiovascular risk. Smoking risk is by definition preventable. On the other hand, smokers are also at greater risk of developing diabetes.
It is crucial to prevent people to start smoking, and in the diabetics who smoke to help them to stop. This group should be a priority in smoking cessation programs.
