Smoking
Another common cause of pancreatitis is smoking. The tobaccos, tars, and cigarettes contain many harmful chemicals that might damage many parts of the body, including the pancreas, and reduce your immune system. Since the main function of the pancreas is to filter substances, smoke from tobacco might do harm to this part. Thus, it is better to quit smoking as soon as possible to reduce the risks. Never try smoking when you are young because you might easily become addicted. [6]
