Tar and cigarette smoke deprive the skin of useful oxygen
and nutrients necessary for fine health. Avoid smoking and
face wrinkles will bother you less.
In addition to the cumulative effects that some of the chemicals
have on the skin,
another reason for the extra wrinkles is the way a person
holds their mouth when they smoke. Lines are created as a
person wraps their lips around the cigarette, and then blows
out the smoke. Other contributing factors: squinting and frowning
from the smoke. Since the mid-nineteenth century, physicians
have noticed that chronic smokers’ skin tends to be
think, yellowish, and wrinkled. Hence, smoking has a tendency
to make a person look older than their chronological age.
