Smokers and Autoimmune Skin Disease

Study shows smokers are more likely to get psoriasis

A study looking at thousands of nurses shows that people who smoke are more likely to develop the autoimmune disease, psoriasis. This programme investigates the study’s findings.

Also on the show, the European plan for bird flu and the countries that aren’t prepared for it; the London violin makers suffering with repetitive strain injury; living with diabetes; and a report that found older people in France, Italy and Spain are more depressed than the elderly in the rest of Europe.
