I Am On 75mcg Levothyroxine. I Was Doing Fine. I

I am on 75mcg levothyroxine. I was doing fine. I smoke occasionally. ..one off 6-10 cigarettes once a week on the average. I also take Moringa tea and green tea daily. I have recently noticed a relapse of hypothyroidism.

Please confirm if this occasional smoking affects hypothyroidism. I have just read that Moringa and green tea affect Levothyroxine absorption. What of smoking please?

Thank you Doc
