Smoking and Your Looks
You’ve no doubt heard plenty about smoking and your health, that your lungs and heart could be seriously damaged by the prolonged use of cigarettes. But one of the funny things about being young is that you don’t believe any of those terrible things could happen to you. Heart disease, lung cancers are for somebody else, somebody who is, well, old, but not for you. You’re different. You’re young and pretty and healthy … aren’t you?
Well, even if you don’t believe the doctors’ warnings about smoking and health, you may be convinced by some cold, hard facts about smoking and your looks. Cigarettes damage the outside as well as the inside of your body, and some of the effects aren’t too attractive. For instance, the negative effect of smoking on the circulation can show up in puffy bags under the eyes. Nicotine leaves permanent stains on the teeth, making them a dingy yellow or brown. If you hang on to the habit long enough, you may develop stains on your fingertips. Cigarettes leave a stale, acrid smell in your hair, on your clothes, and on your breath. Finally, you may even develop a nasty chronic cough, and the quality of your voice could become raspy and harsh.
Now that you’ve thought about some of the effects on your appearance, maybe you’ll want to think again before lighting up. Smoking and being beautiful just don’t mix and wouldn’t you really rather be beautiful?
