: Hey, me again. Today I read an article in a womans' magazine, a woman was asking for help because when she stopped smoking she broke out in spots. The lady who gave her advice (i think was a Dr!) said that bizzarely smoking can get rid of acne!
: Is there any truth in this? I know the terrible diseases linked with smoking are enough to put anyone off, but if this is true i'd give it a go!!!
: Thanks
I have absolutly no clue if this is true or not, but what I can say is I have had less breakouts since I've been smoking in the past few years. But smoking causes so much more damage to your skin, its not even worth it if it could clear it up. People with just acne right now, don't realize how ugly their face can look later with the scars AND wrinkles from smoking...why do that to yourself. I wouldn't take up smoking if you don't smoke now...beleive me you won't quit anytime soon if you think its benfiting your skin, then you won't be able to quit when you want to.
