I don't smoke, I haven't even tried it so I'm just curious. If you smoke does it effect your facial look or does it make your body seem any different. But I know how bad it is for you and I don't need to know stuff like it makes you cough alot and you get worn out easily. Just the way it makes you look.
Thank you

It really ages people. Your skin will look grey, your fingers and teeth will go yellow and you will devlop bags around your eyes quicker than a non-smoker.

I found an image where someone aged a man to show you how a smoker would look in 20 years time
http://www.rnib.org.uk/xpedio/groups/public/documents/publicwebsite/public_oyetour-2.jpg
My 2nd link below shows a group of smokers in tehir 20's and I think they all look a bit worse for wear, especially the 22 year old woman, she looks alot older. Smoking ages your skin, you get fine lines and wrinkles around your mouth. I've seen so many smokers with grubby yellow hands. You may also get stained teeth aswell as fingers. It accelerates the aging of your skin, It alters conditions in your mouth causing bad breath and can lead to early hair loss, so all in all it's not good!
I just took another look at those smokers on my second link and they definitely do look unhealthy, a bit pasty and have bags under the eyes.

Yes it does.
The continual effort of pursing your lips to draw on cigarettes gradually creates wrinkles around your mouth. The constant intake of nicotine and other highly dubious chemical compounds makes your skin, teeth and eye-whites appear yellower than those of a non-smoker. Your skin also appears generally drier and less healthy-looking than a non-smoker. These effects are all quite gradual and not noticeable if you have only been a smoker for a few years, but just wait until you're 45 years old and look 10 years older than your non-smoking friends...

Yes definitely! Aside for your teeth color changes, you will have some skin changes as well.. When I was still studying, my professor told us once that smoking could also affect the color of your lips and so as your nipples and if you're a female then it could also affect the color down there.. from pink colored lips and nipples to brown colored one. Your respiratory walls from a ciliated (spongy), it will mutate and turned into pseudostratified wall (just like our skin). The effects of that mutation or changes is that your lungs would have some difficulty on exchanging gases (O2 and CO2) and mucus would also accumulate in you lungs, if you notice sometimes when you woke up in the morning there are mucus or phelgm accumulation in your throat and if spit it the color is dark brown or green or sometimes black, that is due to smoking!

Yes it most definitely makes you look different, I stopped smoking and people commented on how much healthier my skin and face looked. Long term smoking causes immature aging heavy deep set wrinkles, especially around the mouth, and bags under the eyes.

Smoking destroys vitamin A which is essential for the elasticity of your skin. You stink and makes wrinkles around the lips.

As far as I know, it does cause premature aging at the minimum of its effects like wrinkles and sometimes bad skin.
Plus if you have that hole in your throat, thats pretty nasty....
Body wise, nicotine gives your body a kind of a buzz.....if thats what you are asking about. Some people get skin problems, not sure how though.

Yes, it cause more wrinkles on your face. You are more prone to acne because of the smoke passing by your skin, as well it effect your eyes. Also you fingernails tend to become discolored, and the skin on you hands will also be effected.

The whole "ages your skin faster" is not nessecaraly(sp?) due to smoking.
For example.
Your only getting the wrinkles, becuase when your taking drags of the ciggi, your cheeks hollow , which stretches ur skin all over the place.
I mean if you were soft on your inhales, or whatever , you would be fine as far as your skin is concerned.

Smoking cuts down on the amount of oxygen that gets to your body. You can have a palid complexion, dark rings under your eyes, etc.
