Public knowledge, awareness, and perceptions of the association between skin aging and smoking

(Disponible en anglais seulement.)

Smoking is a proven cause of premature skin aging. This survey of people who do or do not smoke examines public perceptions of the influence of smoking on skin aging. People who smoke were less likely to know that smoking causes aging, and almost one quarter thought that this knowledge could influence the decision to quit smoking.

Comment: This article is almost ten years old. I'm surprised more emphasis isn't currently put on the premature aging of skin when trying to encourage people (especially young people) to quit smoking.
