🚭 Ni****ne isn’t just bad for your lungs — it’s rough on your skin too, and it can actually increase your risk for skin cancer.
Here’s how it works, in plain language:
• Ni****ne makes it harder for your skin to repair DNA damage from the sun.
• It shrinks blood vessels, so your skin doesn’t get the oxygen and nutrients it needs.
• It can weaken your skin’s immune system, making it harder to catch early cancer cells.
• And it ramps up oxidative stress, which basically means more damage and faster aging.
So yeah… your skin really hates ni****ne.
This month is the perfect time to show it some love: wear sunscreen, moisturize, stay hydrated, and if you’re using ni****ne, consider cutting back or reaching out for support to quit. Your skin (and the rest of your body) will thank you.
💛 Healthy skin is lifelong skin.
