Smoking effects on Botox treatment
There should be no negative impact on your Botox results with smoking soon after treatment. However, if you received Botox around the mouth area to soften fine lines, smoking will shorten the already shortened duration of this treatment.

Smoking should not affect botox, but it does age your skin
There are no studies to show that having a cigarette will affect your botox injection. However, smoking does age your skin, causing wrinkling and discoloration.
