Does Smoking Cause Appendicitis?
My boyfriend has the desire to quit smoking and is down from 3 & 2 packs a day. to one pack or less a day. He went on a field trip with his RV and YYYY@YYYY days into it came down with appendicitis which was removed. Did his smoking cause the appendicitis in any way?
