Now convinced that smoking is a trigger

I’ve been reading in this subreddit for a while now where different people have said that smoking triggers their flares. I have been known to regularly partake of “the devil‘s lettuce“ and recently went on vacation for two weeks, leaving it behind completely during that time. The two frequent and consistent active groin flares that I had the day I went on vacation are completely gone. It’s like they never even existed! I have not fired up since I have been back from vacation because I’m afraid to confirm what I believe now to be true. If you smoke (anything) and have flares, try your own experiment and report back!
