Will I get skin necrosis from smoking?

Celebrated821154Mar 18, 2024
I am a 21 y/o female and have been smoking on and off for about 2 years. I don't use cigarettes, only vapes.

I have always been extremely healthy and hoping my young age will help, but I am terrified of necrosis/ other complications.
