INFORMATIVE 

Tags: smoke, smoking, acne

Acne is often found on the face, neck, chest, and back. Although the correlation between smoking and acne is unclear, smoking can lead to a slew of other health-related problems, including ones that adversely affect the skin. There are several types of pimples. The most common types are:

	Whitehead: Pimple under the skin’s surface.
	Blackhead: Pimple on the surface of the skin. The dark color is from exposure to the air, not dirt.
	Papule: Tender pink bumb.
	Pustule: Also called whitehead, these appear pink at the base and are filled with pus.
	Nodule: Large, solid pimple deep in the skin. These can be painful.
	Cyst: Deep, painful, pus-filled pimple. These can cause scaring.

Comments: Recognising this form of acne is fundamental to providing correct information about the effects of tobacco on the skin, which could contribute to anti-smoking information programmes. In some subjects the severity of acne - the clinical peculiarities, the strong correlation with smoking and the biochemical data - could lead to NIA being considered as a new entity among smoking-related skin diseases, called 'smoker's acne’.
