Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a pathological condition caused by the reflux of stomach contents into the esophagus. The main symptoms are heartburn, acid regurgitation, dysphagia, chest pain, and nausea. It can be caused by several factors, one of which is smoking. Smoking may decrease the lower esophageal sphincter tone which causes the contents of the stomach to refluxes into the esophagus. The study was aimed to prove the correlation between the degree of smoking and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease based on the Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire (GERDQ). There were 66 subjects selected by using non-probability sampling and accidental sampling methods. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test. There were 72.7% of subjects who experienced GERD symptoms based on GERDQ and 27.3% of smokers did not develop GERD symptoms. Analysis on the smoking degree and GERD status show that 93.8% were heavy smokers, 83.3% were moderate smokers, and 50% were mild smokers group. The data analysis showed that there was a significant correlation (p < 0.003) between smoking degrees and GERD based on GERDQ. The study concluded that there is a correlation between the degree of smoking and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease based on GERDQ.
