Smoking and acne - last is not the only thing

    smoking women

    The more I search for new information about smoking and acne, the more news I find about actions taken to shorten smoking women death roll. It’s known that women smoke as much as men and even more in some countries. Men need to quit for only several weeks before impregnation to guarantee that baby’s damage will be the least, while women need several months of no-smoking before they become pregnant with healthy babies. There is always a threat because children are more likely to born sick if their mothers are smokers. Scientists are up and working on this problem.



    Today anti-smoking organizations have found new way to advertise healthy life without smoking to women. It’s so called “let’s look how your beauty will fade in 10 years if you don’t quit” program. Authors of the program gained possibility to create images of one’s face in future by using special morphine technology – “state-of-the-art” age progression. Joining this research every woman could see how she will look after ten years if she quits, and if not. You just see two copies of yourself – one good and one bad – with all your wrinkles brought by smoking, and acne, an all other possible consequences. Striking fact – this method works. Certain experiments were held to prove its efficiency.



    34 young women took part in this research – aged from 18 to 34. Over 20 of them told after seeing two of their future faces that they will quit smoking for good because they are horrified. Many of them had smoker’s acne on those i-am-a-asmoker images – smoking and acne are connected, you know. Doctor Sarah Grogan – Project Leader – told us, that women are very interested in keeping their beauty for long time. This looks like a key factor of the whole thing. According to her words, lot’s of women experienced reaction of physical shock (even nausea).



    Now researchers think about second part of their research – they would like to test those women again after five months from now – to see if any of them really quit. Do you want my opinion? I think none of them will quit. But researchers think another way. They hope to wider next research of this kind.

Smoking and acne

    Here I will continue my research on smoking and acne connection. Is smoking a cause of acne? How does acne intensity and severity of pimples differ due to smoking, it’s intensity and type of cigarettes (low nicotine, medium, heavy)?



    Can you comment on this post? I am very interested in your opinion about smoking and acne.



    So now we know that smoking is really a cause of acne, it’s non-inflammatory type – called smoker’s acne. Most of the people who suffer from non-inflammatory acne are smokers, only 15-20% of those with non-inflammatory acne are never-smokers. But even one cigarette per day will probably bring you smoker’s acne after some time will pass.



    What is the influence of cigarettes if we speak about inflammatory type of acne?



    Different researches conducted in 80s and 90s found that smoking helps a little with inflammatory processes in our organism, speaking an easy language – your acne won’t be so “red” and their severity will be a little lower, but you still will suffer from inflammatory type of acne + it’s non-inflammatory type. So the pros of smoking here is doubtful.



    Smoking intensity is not an important factor. Research workers say just how much you smoke won’t act on your acne severity. From one side, this is good – you can smoke as much as you want. From the other side, if you smoke even a little – you will suffer from smoker’s acne anyway.



    Also it’s not a factor what type of cigarettes you smoke – Marlboro Red or Camel White – you’ll catch some pimples on your face anyway. Frankly speaking pros of smoking light cigarettes looks doubtful to me even not concerning acne problem.



    So, let’s memorize:



    - smoking is a cause of acne – it’s non-inflammatory type;

    - there is no relationships between smoking intensity and severity of acne;

    - type of cigarettes or tobacco you smoke has no connection to acne severity as well.



    Stay health!
