I need researchers or serious thinkers to look at this question.
It is ofcourse unhealthy and politically incorrect to smoke. - Thanks for your time. MI do not know if there is a correlation, but it stands to reason that when someone quits smoking there is a certain amount of stress going on in the body, and shingles is stress related..

Smoking has nothing to do with it.Once you have chicken pox, the virus lays dormant on your skin. Shingles can develop later in life. What can cause the shingles to break out? Weakened immune system - Stress. Trying to quit smoking can cause more stress than you find normal and this can be a reason that you-d get shingles.Shingles is affiliated with Chicken Pox (herpes zooster) a virus. It has nothing to do with quitting cigarettes.Anything that causes stress can cause shingles to appear, it stands to reason if you are prone to shingles and are trying to quit smoking that you could develop shingels.
