The Effects of Smoking on Your Appearance
Though you will never see what smoking does to your lungs, now you can see what it will do to your face. Using age progression software, The American Lung Association shows some teenage smokers how they will look after a lifetime of smoking cigarettes - and the images are disturbing!
What can you expect to look like if you smoke year after year? Here are a few of the symptoms of a condition called "smoker's face":
-
Deep wrinkles around the eyes and mouth (many times worse than the natural wrinkles that your non-smoking friends will have)
-
Very dry, flaky skin - and chapped lips.
-
Red, gray or yellow cast to skin, making your general appearance to have an overall unhealthy look.
-
Saggy, puffy skin, since smoke cuts the collagen production of your skin - collagen is produced by your skin and is linked to young, clear looking skin.
-
Yellow stained teeth - but smoking has also been linked to gum disease and tooth loss.
-
Yellow stained fingernails

Fake!
Of course it is fake. It's a simulation. But I know from my own personal experience. I can spot a smoker just by the way they look once they hit a certain age. Around their lips, facial wrinkles, etc. Smokers just don't look as healthy.
