Smoking and va**ng don’t just affect your lungs — they can affect your skin, too.
Ni****ne can reduce blood flow, interfere with healthy tissue repair, and may contribute to changes in collagen, elasticity, and visible skin aging. Cigarette smoking has the strongest long-term evidence, while research on va**ng is still evolving — but va**ng is not harmless when it comes to healing and skin health.
This week on Medical Matters with Nikki the Nurse, we’re talking about what smoking, va**ng, and ni****ne may be doing beneath the surface — and why it matters for wound healing, surgery, and collagen-stimulating treatments.
