• It certainly is possible smoking will affect RP. Look at it this way. The blood vessels in the eye become attenuated. And that creates poor circulation in the eye. Smoking certainly has an impact on circulation and when coming through vessels that are already compromised, it could be worse on the eyes.

• I dont know about the liquid thing. But i have wondered myself about the same question about smoking and alcohol. Does anybody know the effects that alcohol has on the condition.

• One thing is for certain, is that if you are a smoker or a past smoker, you would not be able to participate in the Vitamin A regime. The reason being is that Vitamin A increases your risk of lung cancer/disease. Some people still do it but the heightened risk puts doctors in a position to discourage the Vitamin A approach.
