Smoking and hormones

Did you know smoking affects your hormones?

Most smokers are aware that smoking has an impact on their health, but you may not know that smoking can have an important effect on your hormones. Studies have found that women smoking cigarettes lowers estrogen in women, which can lead to:

  • Dry Skin
  • Premature aging
  • Memory problems
  • Excess body hair
  • Reduced fertility
  • Early menopause

Although these changes can be scary, it is important to know that estrogen levels can return to normal after a woman quits smoking.
