A report published this week reveals that 21% of the adult population smokes in Israel. Over 8,000 people die in Israel each year from smoking.

Smoking is one of the most critical factors that affect the health of all body organs and especially the skin. Smoking aggravates sun damage and causes it to have a greater impact on the incidence of skin cancer. Smoking damages the color of the nails and is a risk factor for diseases such as psoriasis, and also slows down the healing of wounds.
