Hello, @UAE756, how are you feeling today?
Thank you so much for starting this discussion. I understand your concerns about quitting smoking after so long, especially since you've never had these issues before. While it may seem extreme, quitting can indeed have a positive impact on reducing psoriasis flares and improving overall health, and many people living with psoriasis have reported as such.
Let me invite a few members of our community to also weigh in on the subject:

Hello everyone,
Were you a smoker before being diagnosed with psoriasis? Did you quit, and if so, did it lead to improvement in symptoms? What helped you kick the habit?

I just had a quick question. I was recently diagnosed with psoriasis (I am 58). I was told to stop smoking to reduce flares. I have smoked for over 25 years. In the last 18 months I have started getting plaques, doctor says it was dormant until now. Do I really need to stop smoking? It seems a bit extreme seeing as I have never had these issues until now. Has anyone else stopped smoking, did it help?
