Hi BF,
Here's some info [b]Golferman[/b] found on a few skin care websites.
Smokers have more wrinkles in their skin. Smokers tend to have particularly bad wrinkles around the mouth and eyes.
Smokers in their forties have as many wrinkles as nonsmokers in their sixties do.
Smoking affects the development of wrinkles even among people in their twenties and thirties.
�For smokers, middle age starts in their early 30s as the tell-tale wrinkles around the mouth and eyes begin to appear.
�Young female smokers are likely to be wasting money on anti-ageing face creams if they continue to smoke. The best beauty treatment by far is to quit smoking.�
Dry, unhealthy, older-looking, faster-aging skin, caused by poor circulation and low oxygen levels in the blood.
Unattractive, tobacco-stained hands.
Yellowish, brownish tobacco-stained teeth, gum disease and bad breath.
A wardrobe, a house and a car that smell of tobacco smoke, all the time.
Reduces blood flow to the skin
Causes the skin to look dry and sallow
Encourages wrinkles to develop around the mouth and �crow�s feet� around the eye
Stains the skin and teeth
Causes the stale tobacco smell
Causes the premature skin ageing and wrinkling
Delays wound healing
The following are the effects of smoking on the face:
Puckered moth from smoking action
Wrinkles around the eyes due to squinting to avoid the smoke
Pale complexion due to nicotine constricting blood vessels
Thinned, sagging wrinkled skin due to loss of collagen from free radical damage

Aren't ya glad ya quit. The zit will go away. ;)
