Researchers from the University of California at Riverside found that tobacco smoke (more precisely, residue from tobacco smoke) increases the likelihood of developing various diseases when exposed to the skin. Among them – psoriasis and contact dermatitis.
Tobacco smoke also increases the levels of certain biomarkers of oxidative damage. Therefore, a person can also develop diseases such as atherosclerosis, heart disease, and cancer.
The results of this study were published in BioMedicine. 10 non-smoking adults aged 22 to 45 years participated. For three hours, each participant wore smoke-soaked clothing and walked or jogged on the treadmill every hour for at least 15 minutes. At the same time, people didn’t know that their clothes were impregnated with THS, leftovers from tobacco smoke.
