Is it true that cigarette smoking contributes to the development of wrinkles?

Yes. While a single regional study found no direct association between smoking and facial wrinkles among specific COPD patients, extensive biomedical literature demonstrates that cigarette smoking accelerates skin aging, tissue degeneration, and microvascular damage.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 3 sources for, 1 against · Last checked

The analysis

The claim that cigarette smoking contributes to wrinkles and premature aging is well-supported by multiple studies showing that smoking accelerates systemic and cutaneous aging via oxidative stress and microvascular damage. While one recent study found no significant link between smoking and facial wrinkling in a specific population of Thai COPD patients, the broader consensus across dermatological and molecular research strongly supports the claim.
