Smoking, Reader Comments
Reader comments about my page about smoking and its effects on psoriasis.
ST writes (May 6, 2000):
I quit smoking 10 days ago. I have had psoriasis for 14 years. By 5-6 years ago, I was getting quite bad flareups. The past few, I have avoided using any treatment and it has stayed pretty mild. I got to the point that I really believed that treatment made it worse and helped provoke flareups.
I got my first bad flareup yesterday after having none for years. I came across your page on the relation between smoking and psoriasis. Interestingly enough, my psoriasis started at the same time I started to smoke on a regular basis.
Thanks for making the info available and saving me time on doing (unnecessary research)
