When you smoke, your skin ages quickly, much faster than it normally should. People who smoke a lot get more wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin around their eyes, and their skin looks dull or shallow. Tobacco’s nicotine makes the blood vessels in your skin narrow, so oxygen and other important nutrients can’t get to your skin. People who smoke also get more wrinkles on their faces because they squint because of the smoke and purse their lips around the cigarettes.
