How Smoking & Vaping Accelerate Skin Aging

About this video

In this short clip, Huberman argues that smoking or vaping nicotine accelerates skin aging, both through the act itself and the substance. He explains that nicotine is a vasoconstrictor, which he describes as the opposite of what skin health and appearance need, and contrasts this with why people pursue approaches aimed at blood flow and hydration. Huberman warns that anyone using nicotine in any form who wants youthful-appearing skin is undermining that goal.
