Smokers are generally at a higher risk
of developing various diseases and if that wasn’t enough, smoking can kill your
looks too. We have compiled ten reasons why you should absolutely quite smoking
for better looks.
When the damage is visible, you tend
to be more careful about your bad habits. If cigarette could cause a visible
bump on your face, you would definitely quit smoking today.
Let’s list down 10 reasons why smoking
is the biggest enemy of your looks!
Forever
tired:
You look forever tired because of the ‘bags’ under your eyes, thanks to
smoking. People who smoke are four times more sleep deprived and hence tend to
develop eye ‘bags’ at an early age.
Yellow
teeth:
Nicotine is responsible for the ugly yellow teeth smokers have. If you want
your pearly whites to remain white you need to quit smoking. The yellow colour
cannot be reversed and so you will have to live them unless you go in for teeth
cleaning and whitening procedure.
Wrinkly
you: If
you smoke all the time, the blood supply that keeps your skin tissue looking
healthy and supple gets hampered. Smokers tend to look 1.4 times older than
non-smokers.
Yellow
fingers and hands:
Nicotine not just turns your teeth yellow but it also makes your fingers
yellow. Though there are some home remedies to remove the yellow stain,
wouldn’t it be great if you just quit?
More
bad hair days:
Smoking releases certain chemicals which cause damage to the DNA of your hair
and this can result in weak and brittle hair. Men who smoke regularly tend lose
more hair than those who don’t.
Scarring: The nicotine
in the cigarette causes a condition called vasoconstriction, leading to
narrowing of the blood vessels. The narrowed blood vessels limit the supply of
oxygen-rich blood to your face, slowing down healing process. So, in case you
hurt your face and end up having scars, it may take forever to heal.
Smoker’s
face:
While carbon monoxide in the cigarette smoke replaces the oxygen in your skin,
nicotine hinders blood flow and this leads to dry, pale and lifeless face, also
known as the smoker’s face.
Stretch
marks:
Nicotine is known to damage fibres and tissues of the skin. It also reduces the
elasticity of the skin. Rapid weight gain or loss can cause stretch marks which
generally fade into a line. Nicotine stops the skin from self-healing and hence
the marks may never go.
More
goodies from tooth-fairy: Severe smoking damages your teeth completely.
Yellowing teeth are just a beginning; later on your teeth become extremely
sensitive and may end up falling off.
The
eye factor:
Who doesn’t want an amazing vision? The time period of smoking is less
important here, the amount of cigarette smoked can increase the possibility of
cataracts at an early age.
So now that you all know that smoking
causes wrinkles, make scars lasts, leads to loss of hair and teeth, is it not
time you kicked the butt?
