does nicotine prevent acne?

[Will1]

alright so i have mild acne problems, and i started smoking and i noticed that 90% of it went away, when i stopped smoking it came back, then i started to dip and it went away again and then i stopped dipping and it came back and i've started back up and noticed that it went away. does nicotine have an effect on acne?

Judging by all the acne-riddled smokers out there, I'd have to say no.

I know that it causes acne for me! I have sensitive skin, and when I was smoking I constantly got cystic acne. Now that I stopped my skin is much better!

Hm, I never heard that, but, since smoking works on the nervous system, might be the reason for you.
