AB  - While  there  remains  a  good  deal  to  learn  about  the  mechanisms  and  factors  related  to  intrinsic  skin  aging,  scientists  have  a  stronger  grasp  of  the  numerous  exogenous  factors  implicated  in  the  aging  of  skin,  among  them  sun  exposure  and  lifestyle  choices  such  as  smoking,  drinking,  and  poor  nutrition.  Of  course,  the  internal  ramifications  of  smoking  are  much  better  known  than  are  the  external  results,  but  more  than  two  decades  of  epidemiologic  research  findings  indicate  that  smokers  indeed  manifest  greater  facial  aging  and  skin  wrinkling  than  nonsmokers.1  This  chapter  reviews  the  literature  and  discusses  what  is  known  about  the  effects  on  skin  of  chronic  cigarette  smoking.
