Quitting smoking, including vaping, can indeed have a positive impact on managing hidradenitis suppurativa (HS).

While the specific effects of vaping on HS are not detailed in the context, it's reasonable to infer that reducing any form of smoking could be beneficial given the general link between smoking and HS severity.
