Uncle Joe	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...

bflogal77	22 answers and then mine. Smoking effects your breath and teeth...turns them yellow over time. It will also cause your facial skin to wrinkle easier, and let's not even say what it does to your lungs and heart. If you have never smoked, don't. It used to be a "grown-up" thing to do...some of those grown-ups are now dead from lung cancer, stomach cancer, prostate cancer, heart disease, lip cancer, oral cancer etc etc etc. What worth does it have?....absolutely nothing!

st4rdust3r	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. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
