Yes, smoking foes give wrinkles on the face.
There is a term called "smoker's face." Unique to smokers, the condition is a combination of wrinkles, gaunt features, and an oddly colored complexion.
One study showed excessive wrinkling even among 40- and 50-year-olds who only smoked during their teens and twenties. Smokers who quit regain their pink cheeks but never lose their wrinkles.
Smoking causes wrinkles, and a report in the Lancet suggests that smoking switches on a gene involved in destroying collagen, the structural protein which gives skin its elasticity. Smoking has also been found to trigger oxygen damage to the cells and to mess up the blood flow to the skin.

Yes, smoking will cause wrinkles around your mouth because smokers will always pucker their lips sooo many times to inhale. Eventually , over time it causes wrinkles. My mother and aunt smoke and they had premature wrinkling around their mouths.
Also it will cause yellow teeth, a harsh raspy voice, not to mention a smokers cough (talk to any 40 year old woman smoker,..they all all like that). It's very bad for a person who is trying to age gracefullly.

Yes, smoking is bad for your circulation, so the skin can't get nutrients to heal itseld and moisture to keep it nice and plump. You will also get lots of little lines around the edges of your mouth from puckering your lips around the cigarette. Icky!!

Why worry about the wrinkles on the outside? Worry about your black lungs on the inside...
