Smoking causes blood vessels to narrow (Constrict). This constriction in blood vessels causes skin temperature to drop. Smoking worsens frequency and intensity of attacks. Medications to treat Raynaud's may not be as effective in smokers. Smoking can lead patients of Raynaud's to angina. [Angina is severe chest pain. It happens because of ischemia. (ischemia is lack of blood, thus a lack of oxygen supply.)]
Bottom line, patients of Raynaud's must not smoke.
Raynauds syndrome usually occurs from about the age of 15. However I am sure there are some exceptions as i got it when i was 13. Raynauds is a heriditary incurable disease. there are two types: primary and secondary. primary is when you just have raynauds on its own. secondary, however can be a little more serious as it is caused by an underlying disease. i would recommend taking your baby to see a doctor as i would suspect it has secondary raynauds if it has raynauds at all.
