How does smoking affect the skin? Are the affects related to how much one smokes?


Question:


Answers:
Smoking has a lot of bad chemicals and toxins in it and when you smoke these chemicals are drawn into the skin. It would be most noticeable on the face - thats why a lot of smokers age worse than non-smokers. Obviously the aging process takes effect on us all however its increased by smoking, you can get smokers lines around the mouth area for example. As smoking can affect your hormones then you could also say that its not going to make things like, acne and dry skin areas any better either.

Another thing is is that it can make your fingers go yellow as the smoke reacts with the skin and over a period of time the skin will turn a deep yellowish colour.

Obviously if you smoke only 1 cigarette a day rather than 40 a day its not going to be as bad but the best thing that we can do to eliminate this, is to not smoke at all and eat a very healthy diet.
