Smoking is bad for your health. It has been associated with many ailments, including heart disease and cancer of the mouth, lungs and esophagus. Smoking also increases the chance of a heart attack or a stroke because it constricts the blood vessels, causing a reduction in blood flow.
Smoking also has a damaging effects on the skin. You can determine a person whether she/he is a smoker or not based on his or her general appearance: ashen, pale complexion, dry skin, wrinkles formed around the eyes and mouth and a skinny face.
“Even for a relatively young person, you can have that face if you’ve been smoking habitually for many years. You can notice the change as early as five years of smoking, and the longer you continue to smoke, the worse it will get.”
A smoker gets acquire this manifestation because of restricted blood flow and oxygen to the skin, causing an ashy, pale or sometimes yellowish skin tone and premature wrinkles. The skin also quickly ages due to vitamin C deficiency, since each cigarette robs your body of about 35 mg of vitamin C. And wrinkles are formed largely around the mouth and eye area because of the constant gathering and peeking motions that come with smoking. -Kelly Misa
