Hi Dear Welcome to the HCM, Smoking is not well know to have much specific side effects with hypothyroidism. But smoking is well known overall harmful habit . Should always be avoided. It not only harms the persons who smokes, but also effects negatively to the individuals in the surrounding. So better to quite smoking. Hope the question is answered. Thanks
