BACKGROUND: Although they know the long-term complications of smoking, many smokers require additional motivation for entering a smoking cessation programme. At the same time, smoking is considered a possible promoting factor for various skin diseases.
OBJECTIVE: The present study assesses the impact of smoking on occupational hand dermatitis in a high-risk population.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: 1,355 metal workers, 97.3% of them shift workers, took part in a standardized interview and a dermatological examination of their hands. A subgroup of 1,020 males was willing to be followed-up for 1 year. Of those, 78.3% could be included in the final assessment.
RESULTS: Compared to the general German adult population the percentage of smokers was increased (41.7% at baseline). Probably due to self-selection bias and to a higher drop-out rate, the proportion of smokers was significantly lower at follow-up. Compared to nonsmokers, smokers had significantly higher score values for both erythematous lesions and vesicles.
CONCLUSION: The present data might give additional support for occupational physicians or dermatologists to convince workers to quit smoking.
