In our data, genetically predicted MS risk was not associated with smoking initiation [OR = 1.00, 95% CI (0.99, 1.01), p = 0.96], or lifetime smoking [ β = 0.002, 95% CI (− 0.003, 0.007), p = 0.51], with a possible trend seen only for smoking heaviness [ β = 0.016, 95% CI (0.003, 0.028), p = 0.02].
