Psoriasis and passive smoking

[jiml]

@Amanda You are right people do ridicule smokers, but stuffing your face with junk food is just as bad and cost the government just as much. Ok some will say you won't be effected by passive junk food eating, but it can effect peoples lives in other ways. (just ask those that live near the fast food outlets who have to put up with all the crap in their gardens on a Sunday morning).


@Jim Yes any study looking at triggers is a good thing, but when the people living with the problem can't see any proof in the results it may not have the result it was intended to have. I agree smoking does damage the body, but lot's of things damage the body and if smoking is helping someone cope with psoriasis then good on em I say. (They know the score)

Fred I would never ridicule anyone for smoking, I was one myself for many years ... The only reason I gave up was the cost not for health reasons ....... Although giving up did make me put on weight  
I agree there are many things we do that are bad for our health including my favourite  ( no second favourite ) pastime   I'm talking about the odd drink .

@Amanda  I never noticed a scrap of difference when I gave up smoking with my psoriasis ... I think we have to look elsewhere for a cause or trigger
