Thesis Abstract

Cigarette smoking is a well-established risk factor for numerous adverse health outcomes, including premature aging of the skin. This research project aims to investigate the impact of smoking on skin aging, with a focus on its underlying mechanisms, clinical manifestations, and public health implications. By synthesizing evidence from epidemiological studies, experimental research, and clinical observations, the study seeks to elucidate the molecular pathways through which tobacco smoke accelerates skin aging, as well as to raise awareness about the dermatological consequences of smoking and the potential benefits of smoking cessation for skin health.
