CAN SMOKING CAUSE ACNE...

ACNE REMEDY RED BLUFF, CA    916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Acne triggers are plentiful, and smoking, is one such trigger. The reason being - stress. 

Stress compromises the immune system, and anything that compromises the immune system in the acne-prone person can result in acne. Our bodies interpret stress differently. What one person's body interprets as stressful, another person's body may not. For example, some individuals require 8 hours of sleep each night in order to maintain health and vitality, whereas, other individuals may only require 6 hours a night to maintain health and vitality. If you are one of these people who need 8 hours of sleep, not getting enough rest creates physiological stress that has the potential to trigger an acne flare-up. Meanwhile, your best friend is getting straight As, taking home medals from the track meet, and has a glowing complexion all on minimal sleep. Frustrating, I know.  

This is where biochemical differences come into play. Your best friend may thrive on 6 hours of sleep, but smoking a single cigarette may trigger a breakout. Whereas, someone else that is prone to acne, may smoke a pack a day with few repercussions to their skin due to their biochemical individuality.
