How Smoking Cigarettes Can Change Your Looks

Have you looked in the mirror lately only to be surprised by the person looking back at you? You might wonder what happened to make you look so much older. You might be really surprised to find out that the cigarettes you smoke are making you not only feel older, they are making you look older too. These cigarettes put out that awful smoke and this settles on the skin of your body clogging up the pores that your skin gets its air supply through. It not only clogs up the pores on the outside, but on the inside as well.

This is why you might start losing your hair or your teeth at a early age. Your skin will start looking like the skin of a much older person. It will also become dry and rough to the touch and all of that flaking is your dead skin. On the inside of your body everything in there is starting to slow down or just quit doing its job. When this happens you will most likely end up in the hospital one day with some kind of smoking related illness or disease. The bad thing about this is that once the damage to your body is really bad, it usually does not much better even if you quit because some damages are irreversible.

When somethings stops working you can usually get it fixed or replace it with a new one, but that is not always so with parts of the human body. When these parts get sick and die ,you can not always have them replaced. You could have yourself or a member of your family put on a organ donor list, but it might be quite some time before one is found. Even if a matching donor is found, a body might not accept it and you will have to be placed back on the list if a transplant is a viable option and sometimes it is not. Some people never get one in time.

Try to imagine yourself older and what shape you could get in if you continue to smoke. Your body might be trying to tell you that you should stop smoking before it is too late. If you are a woman and find that you are having to use more make-up, then the damage has started. If you stop right then your body might be able to start cleaning itself up. You might be able to notice the changes in some of these things right away and then again you might not, but quitting smoking is always a better choice than continuing to do so.
