Tobacco use is the most important cause of preventable and premature deaths in human history. Literature reviews confirm that smoking is a serious medical and socio-economic problem, which currently has the character of a pandemic habit. Smoking is a risk factor of premature deaths resulting from many diseases, e. g. cancer, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal diseases, oral cavity diseases. Smoking is an important risk factor also for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, where more smokers will die from this chronic condition as compared to mortality from lung cancer. Frequency of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is directly related to the intensity of cigarette smoking. The effect of smoking has a very high diversity of diseases caused by smoking, but the effects of smoking on the skin are often overlooked. Article is a summary review focused on negative changes on the skin caused by smoking. The paper particularly emphasizes the need for prevention, which is far more effective than curative treatment. Summary of results and conclusions of several foreign and domestic research studies focusing on the issue of smoking and skin, confirms the negative effect of cigarette smoke and its components on the skin and skin cutaneous complex. The work focuses on the etiological and pathophysiological association of smoking on skin cancer, skin aging and the development of chronic skin diseases - psoriasis. The article also provides useful preventive advice for smoking cessation and for early stages of smoking prevention. The paper also confirms the necessity and need for daily skin care, self-testing, but also the importance of a sufficient knowledge of the adverse effects of smoking on the skin.
