Well, smoking is kind of hot, so I guess it evens out.
I'm pretty sure that smoke of any form (pollution in general) is an irritant and would give you more acne. Maybe try using a pad or washing after you smoke? That seems like a lot of work though.

I kind of had a bit of acne until I turned 19, then it all just magically disappeared. I'm not sure how old you are though.
Damn you for getting me in my motherly "You're perfect and beautiful" phase.

It really depends on the person. Some will be able to smoke and have problems with acne whereas others will not. Acne is largely caused by hormone imbalances. Most people will grow out of it. When I used to have acne, not stressing and worrying/thinking about it would for some reason lessen the acne I had. It's unfortunate your smoking tends to result in acne.

Are you talking about tobacco or greens? And when you smoke whichever of these, are you rubbing your hands all over your face?

I'm 21 and I still get acne. Not bad, but still some. Maybe too much junk food.

cigarettes and restaurant work were the mongers of my first zits. proper face care eliminates almost all of that shit, though.

eat healthy foods that don't make you all greasy. then just relax. my acne went away when i started to be happy a few years ago. until then i had been stressed from the pressure to get good grades as well as all kinds of other stressors... around the time i started smoking pot and NOT CARING what others thought (funny how what some call the negative side of smoking actually got rid of alot of anxiety and was positive in my opinion) i wasn't so stressed out by following "rules" so i could be acceptable to everyones mindset, and the acne went away.

you don't need manmade medicines. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat...rue#Post6091246
i used to take anti-biotics but then i started to believe in myself (corny i know) but you really are powerful. people don't want you to know it but you are all you need. the power of the mind is great! if you think positively and just trust Nature, it will all work out. in every challenge there is a lesson to be learned. for me it was to not worry so much about my appearance, which i then spent alot of time thinking about

Happens to me, too, Banez. Not that bad, though. I have a feeling that the food you're eating is the real culprit.

Dairy bro, check your dairy intake.
Casien is what clogs your pores, heart, digestive system, Casien, the main protein in milk, is also used as glue for beer bottle labels. Try and peel on of those off, bit by bit, and tell me thats not cloging your skin. I used to have pimples fairly bad, I have found many things that help. PM me for even more details if you want, I had bad acne, no I have none.
Take Zinc, read about what zinc cool do for your skin. And Vitimin C. (maybe A to, but I dont use it)
Here is a great herb tea 2 parts Red Clover blossoms 1part rose hips and 1 part Spearamint(or peppermint) Put this tea on your face a few times a day, after washing with a good soap. (exfoliating, , and....shit it been awhile..... an astringent(spelling)
And other info just PM me, I dont "know it all", but I did have great success treating my own acne, but it tooks years of my own study. Read about other cleansing herb to, good luck.

No.. I agree with you. If I smoke.. I find that I have more acne then when I don't. I don't eat bad or anything.. I just seem to break out the day after.
