effects of smoking on skin

Posted in : Smoking Hazards

(added few years ago!)
As we all are aware of the fact smoking is injurious to our precious health. Smoking affects our every part and function of the body. The skin is also affected by smoking. Tobacco smoke released into the environment has a drying effect on the skin’s surface. Smoking reduces the amount of blood flowing to the skin. Smoking may reduce the body’s store of Vitamin A, which provides protection against some skin-damaging agents produced by smoking. Cigarettes can cause wrinkling around the eyes and mouth.   Smokers in there 40s often have as many facial wrinkles as non-smokers in there 60s. In addition to facial wrinkling, smokers may develop hollow cheeks through repeated sucking on cigarettes.   The skin of the people who smokes a lot will have permanent damaging effects on the skin within 10 years and remain forever even if they stop smoking. You cannot change what has happened but at least you can stop further damage by stopping smoking.   Prolonged smoking leads to the discoloration of our fingers and fingernails of the hand that we use to hold cigarettes.
