smoking and psoriasis

[jiml]

Does any one have any opinion on smoking tobacco and what if any side effects it may have on plaque psoriasis. 

I have read it can be a problem.   

what is your take on it?

Hi popzutoo and a warm welcome to the site and a group of sufferers who are happy to share experiences and I'm sure you will get some replies to this question

As far as I'm concerned and I was a smoker for years and when I gave up it made not a scrap of difference to my psoriasis.
It is true that smoking is bad for your health but I personally don't think it affects psoriasis

I assume you are a psoriasis sufferer and also a smoker
