10 ways smoking ruins your looks by damaging your skin, teeth and hair
Bags under your eyes
If you smoke, you’re four times as
likely as a nonsmoker to report feeling
unrested after a night’s sleep. Nightly
nicotine withdrawal could cause you to
toss and turn.
Psoriasis
If you smoke, your risk for scaly skin
conditions increases. If you puff a pack
day for 10 years or less, psoriasis risk goes
up 20 percent, 11-20 years and your risk
is 60 percent higher.
Icky teeth
on average. Smoking hampers the blood
supply that keeps skin tissue looking
supple and healthy.
Yellow fingers
The nicotine in cigarette smoke not
only can make your teeth brown, but it
also is notorious for staining your fingers
and nails as well.
Premature aging and wrinkles
Smoking accelerates aging, so smok
ers look 1.4 years older than nonsmokers,
Skin cancer
Smoking puts you at greater risk for
all kinds of dental problems, including
oral cancer and gum disease. Smokers
are up to six times more likely than non-
smokers to develop gum disease, which
can lead to tooth loss.
Smoking is a leading cause of can
cer, including lung, throat, mouth and
esophageal. It also increases your risk
of skin cancer. Smokers are three times
more likely to develop squamous cell
carcinoma, the second most common type
of skin cancer.
Natural glow is gone
Cigarette smoke contains carbon
monoxide, which displaces the oxygen
in your skin, and nicotine, which reduces
blood flow and leaves skin dry and dis
colored. Cigarette smoking also depletes
many nutrients, including vitamin C, which
helps protect skin and repair damage.
Thinner hair
Toxic chemicals in smoke can dam
age the DNA in hair follicles and gener
ate cell-damaging free radicals as well.
Smokers have thinner hair that tends to go
gray sooner than nonsmokers’ hair does.
It’s the nicotine in cigarettes that can
stain teeth.

Nicotine causes vasoconstrictions, a
narrowing of the blood vessels that can limit
oxygen-rich blood flow to the tiny vessels
in the face or other parts of the body.
