the snuff increases the risk of acne in mujeresLa snuff addiction not only increases the risk of lung cancer or bronchitis, but can also cause acne in women, according to a study released today by the British magazine “British Journal of Dermatology.
The research, conducted by a team of Italian scientists found that women smokers are more likely to suffer acne than non-smokers.
The analysis, conducted among a thousand women, revealed how the 42.2 percent of smokers developed non-inflammatory acne, compared with 10 percent who did not use snuff.
Developed by a team of researchers from the San Gallicano Dermatological Institute, Rome (Italy), the report outlines how the smokers who suffered acne had half the levels of vitamin E (good for the skin) than nonsmokers.
Non-inflammatory acne is a form of this skin disease characterized by the presence of closed pores in the skin, cysts and comedones small black and white.
The alleged link between the consumption of snuff and the presence of grains has always generated controversy because they are a multitude of factors contributing to the appearance of skin diseases.
Although the report’s authors admit that the hormonal alterations, stress, occupational and environmental factors also play in the development of acne, they conclude that the findings should lead to the inclusion of non-inflammatory acne from skin diseases related to smoking.
