Benefits to Your Appearance
In addition to helping you live a longer, healthier life, quitting smoking can actually make you look younger and improve your appearance. Consider that:
- Smoking causes the skin to wrinkle prematurely, having the unfortunate effect of aging a person beyond their years. Quitting now will improve your skin tone and color.
- Smoking stains your teeth and fingernails yellow. Quitting smoking can halt these effects.
- Even if you brush your teeth regularly, smoking causes bad breath.
- Smoke clings to clothes and hair, causing you to have a perpetual odor of cigarette smoke.
