Spondylolisthesis, characterized by the displacement of one vertebra over another, presents substantial challenges due to chronic pain and diminished functional capacity. While emerging evidence hints at a potential association between smoking and spondylolisthesis, the precise impact of smoking on the quality of life (QoL) of affected individuals remains inadequately understood. This cross-sectional study aimed to explore the relationship between smoking status and QoL in individuals diagnosed with spondylolisthesis. Participants were recruited from orthopedic clinics, and QoL was assessed using validated instruments such as the SF-36 Health Survey. Statistical analysis was employed to compare QoL scores between smokers and non-smokers. The study encompassed 150 participants, including 75 smokers and 75 non-smokers. Smokers exhibited significantly lower QoL scores across multiple domains compared to non-smokers, highlighting a heightened burden of physical and emotional impairment. These findings underscore the critical necessity of smoking cessation interventions in the management of spondylolisthesis. Smoking exerts a detrimental influence on the quality of life (QoL) among individuals diagnosed with spondylolisthesis, emphasizing the urgent imperative for smoking cessation counseling and support as integral components of comprehensive management strategies. Addressing smoking cessation represents a pivotal stride toward enhancing QoL and overall well-being in this patient population.
