Hi!
If you plan to continue with smoking, the best way to find the answer is to contact your doctor.
I'll suggest you to quite smoking, because it's known that smoking history is a risk factor of thyroid eye disease in hyperthyroid patients.
Also, there are some studies that have shown that cessation of smoking is beneficial for stopping the progression of hyperthyroidism.
