According to experts, the toxins in cigarettes affect the biological level of those breathing smoke. In fact, because of these toxins, the immune system decreases various functions. A body process greatly affected by this is the skin cell growth. With these toxins in the body, the skin cell growth slows down. According to Luigi Naldi, M.D, who led an Italian case control study on smoking and psoriasis, the nicotine is the probable cause for the changes in one’s immune system. The nicotine is believed to hinder skin cell growth, the same reason premature aging is another downside of smoking. The more years an individual smoked, the more one is prone to psoriasis.

Psoriasis is a chronic problem, which is characterised by remissions and exacerbation. It is usually more severe in the winters and spontaneously becomes less in summers. It usually starts over the scalp, but may start elsewhere. It may remain localised to an area for a long time or may involve other areas sooner than later
