  • Title: [Tobacco and the skin].
    Author: Partsch B, Jochmann W, Partsch H.
    Journal: Wien Med Wochenschr; 1994; 144(22-23):565-8. PubMed ID: 7701843.
    Abstract:
    Various skin changes are undoubtedly caused or at least promoted by smoking. The present literature seems to concentrate mainly on active cigarette smokers, rather than on other kinds of nicotine consumption or on the effects of passive smoking. Unquestionable sequelae of cigarette smoking are the occurrence of yellow fingers, enhanced wrinkling especially in the faces of females, precancerous lesions and squamous cell carcinomas on lips and oral mucosa, vasospasms and obliterations of large arteries as well as of small skin vessels. The toxicomania is often associated with other addictions as e.g. alcoholism. The main emphasis in medical care of our population should lie in facilitating smoking cessation as well as in an effective prevention.
