Does Smoking Cause Eczema And Ridges And Lumpy Nails?

My 45 year old husband has developed lumpy nails around the nail bed also vertical ridges in the nail. In the last 10 months he has also developed a skin condition, exsyma (spelling?!) which has progressively worsened around his fingers. He was smoking 2 roll up cigarettes a day until 4 months ago.
