Quit Smoking – Appearance benefits
The decision to quit smoking will improve the way you look, as smoking affects your appearance more than you think:
- Reduces blood flow to the skin – depleting it of oxygen and essential nutrients
- Causes squinting due to the irritating nature of the smoke – contributing to wrinkling around the eyes
- Puckers the mouth – contributing to wrinkling
The more you smoke, the greater the risk of premature wrinkling. Your skin can age by as much as 20 years, and the effects are irreversible. But you can stop all that now with your decision to quit smoking.
Prolonged smoking causes a 'yellowing' of the fingers and fingernails of the hand you use to hold your cigarettes. This can also happen to your teeth .
