Common Questions and Answers about Effects of smoking on skin
smoking
There is not much standardized research done on this due to the illegal nature of marijuana. You can find MANY websites on the effects of cannibis and blood sugar, though and I am surprised you are on this one asking questions. Do you really think someone is gonna get on this site and admit to breaking the law????? Please!
The chances that this is related to your smoking and alcohol are very less - nevertheless, you should refrain from smoking and alcohol intake as the harmful effects of both involve multiple systems in the body and can be of great severity too.
Let us know about what your doctor tells you after a clinical examination.
Post us if you need any other information.

I have a burning sensation on/in the skin similar to sunburn on the tops of my feet, shins and calves, tops of my hands and undrside of my arms. The sensation is like a mild sunburn and seems to be accompanied by an increased stiffness in my leg muscles. I am 45 and this stiffness has come on quite suddenly. I am currently giving up smoking (2 months) and am using a occasional nicotine replacement lozenge to help relieve the cravings.
s been using prescription strength Retin-A for several years on her face and there is a very noticeable difference in the condition of her skin on her face vs. her neck or decolletage where it isn't applied. I have complimented her facial skin on a few occasions and she always says it's because of Retin-A. On the other hand, I've been using Boots, which isn't the same concentration of prescription strength.
Marijuana can cause panic attacks in some people. Mainly in people who have been smoking for a long time, however, I suffered panic attacks after only 4 months of smoking. Marijuana stimulates the pleasure cells in your brain. If you wan't a scientific answer do a web search. Personally, marijuana affects on me were : increased taste, increased hunger, increased sense of hearing, increased sexual pleasure, increased interest in simple or mundane activities, increased paranoia, and sedation.
s, and for about 6 months I have had an onset of symptoms that appear related to smoking, but may be symptomatic of a deeper problem than merely the effects of smoking, since they are substantial and exhibited a rapid onset.
when I smoke cigarettes now, I have very low energy and it puts me to sleep. I sleep for maybe 2 hours, wake for 4-6 hours, during which I am smoking more cigarettes and feel like going to sleep again. keep repeating.

It is called Palmoplanter psorriasis and effects the soles of the feet and palms of the hands. You get clear looking bumps under the skin that may burst sometimes, and you get scaly peeling skin. Causes are stress, smoking, and sometimes an allergy to nickel. There is no cure, except for easing the symptoms. I have been using Aquaphur ointment by neutragen(I believe) and rub in on my hands at night and use white cotton gloves to sleep.
Hm, I've never heard of smoking causing patches of yellow on the breast. Is it dry in those areas?
You are not going to do permanent damage to your brain from a couple nights of drinking and smoking pot. I don't mean to encourage doing things that have some risk of creating dependency, but the actions of cannabis are temporary-- as are most of the effects of alcohol-- provided you aren't drinking to the point of alcohol toxicity (for example, drinking so much that you pass out, repeatedly).
I have been smoking on average 10 months / year around a pack of cigarettes a day for the last 3 years, quitting for a month a two to only start again from the females I date and the unnoticing effects on my body. I say this because after the first 2 years of smoking I went swimming and held my breath for over 2 minutes and 45 seconds. I used to be able to hold my breath for close to 3:30, back when I was in SEAL training.
Hi, I have patches of discolored skin on my scrotum. I'm concerned that it could be herpes or genital warts in its early stages. It doesn't itch, painless and no tingling. I have never engaged in sexual intercourse without a condom but I know HSV and HPV are transmitted through skin to skin contact and I'm afraid I have caught something. The day I noticed it was when I had a sore throat and a slight fever but I had a night of heavy drinking and smoking and live in cold weather.
The severity of the difference would also be dependant on the length of your Herceptin treatment. Oncologists monitor these side effects very closely and I'm sure your Onc. will take this into consideration and discuss the risks of continuing your treatment. The longer the treatment the less the incidence of heart damage but each case is different. Regards ....
Welcome to the forum. However, we don't examine posted clinical photographs on this forum. We aren't dermatologist -- and in our view, looking at images and trying to say the cause comes to close, in our opinion, to practicing medicine from afar. The purpose of this forum is to provide guidance, not make any particular diagnosis.
Your risk of coronary heart disease is now that of a person who has never smoked. Quitting helps stop the damaging effects of tobacco on your appearance including:
• Premature wrinkling of the skin
• Bad breath
• Stained teeth
• Gum disease
• Bad smelling clothes and hair
• Yellow fingernails
Kicking the tobacco habit offers benefits that you'll notice immediately and some that will develop gradually over time. These rewards can improve your day-to-day life immensely.
An x-ray cannot detect smoke, especially to a light smoker like you. However, the effects of smoking are diagnosed via x-ray, including emphysema and lung cancer. But there is a different case for heavy smokers, as the x ray result shows changes in the interstitial markings referred to as dirty lungs.
I have a close friend who has been addicted to marijuana for a long time, she also smoked during her pregnancy and no they did not test her for it when she gave birth. I don't know much on the effects of marijuana use during pregnancy but I strongly suggest that you look into that for the benefit of the baby. I know that she breastfed for quite a while, continuing to pass the drug onto her child. Our sons are the same age and have been friends since infancy.
When cooking, I would get nauseous and vomit--because of the residue on my oven, stove and pots and pans. Worst of all, my toddler began to act differently and seemed to stop thriving. I kept cleaning my house, taking her to the doctor, trying so hard to figure out what was happening. Then I found a piece of burnt tinfoil and began to wonder. I pulled my house apart one day while husband was gone and eventually found my answer: a huge bag of crystal meth rocks.
I still continued to smoke for a couple of days, but only a couple of puffs from my husbands cigarette 2-3 times a day, then I looked online about the effects off smoking whilst pregnant and quit straight away! There are times when I would like a cigarette but I care for my unborn baby a million times more than a dirty fag! Honestly the best thing you can do is quit, every time you smoke your babies tiny heartbeat has to beat extremely fast as it struggles for oxygen!
