10 Impacts of Smoking for the Body

Skin

Due to damages in the lungs and respiratory system, smoking would reduce the transport of oxygen to the skin. As a result, smokers tend to have dull and grey complexions compared to those who do not consume tobacco products. Exposures to harmful substances can also trigger cellulite, a skin condition characterized by dimples and lumps. In fact, smoking can prematurely age the skin by 10 up to 15 years and make this part more vulnerable to wrinkling, especially around the mouth and eyes. Stop smoking early might be helpful in reversing these changes. [4]
