Smoking
Smoking is one hell of a habit that has a lot of consequences. One of such things smoking triggers is psoriasis. Health researchers have found out that smoking doubles a person’s risk of getting psoriasis. In fact, smoking not only leads to psoriasis, but it also triggers the symptoms to flare up. You might not be exposed to this danger if you are a light smoker but being a chain smoker will increase the risk. Meaning, the higher the number of cigarettes you smoke per day, the higher the risk of you getting a psoriasis disease. Cigarettes contain nicotine which alters the immune system and causes skin inflammation. [3]
