*Acne vulgaris is one of the most common skin diseases with a multifactorial pathogenesis. | |||
*Our meta-analysis underlines that there is no evidence to support an association between smoking habits and acne, although in three of the good quality papers a significant protection in the current smoker was found. It necessary to be cautious in declaring that smoking may provide a protective effect in the pathogenesis of acne because the analysis was based on only a small number of studies. | |||
===2006 [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022202X15330153 Severe Acne Vulgaris and Tobacco Smoking in Young Men]=== | |||
*It is crucial to emphasize that any positive effects found must be traced to specific tobacco components that can be therapeutically used without smoking (e.g., nicotine patches or gums), to avoid any “legitimatizing” of smoking based on its beneficial effects on health. | |||
*Active smokers showed a significantly lower prevalence of severe acne (0.71%) than nonsmokers (1.01%) (P=0.0078). | |||
*Previous in vitro and clinical studies strongly support an association with nicotine. We suggest a trial with topical nicotine treatment for acne to further investigate this association. | |||

*The findings of this study support the hypothesis that some component of cigarette smoke, possibly nicotine, has an anti‐inflammatory action on acne. | |||
