Effect of Smoking on the Development of Migraine in Women: Nationwide Cohort Study in South Korea
Smoking increases the risk of migraine in women, with a dose-dependent relationship. Menopause modifies this effect. Our findings suggest that smoking is an important modifiable risk factor of migraine, with a higher impact in premenopausal women. The interaction between smoking and estrogen may increase the vulnerability of the migraine brain.
