Your Looks

Smelly breath, hair, and hands, and yellow finger nails are not a good look!

Smoking can also:

  • Cause wrinkles.
  • Make you age more quickly.
  • Stop spots healing quickly.
  • Disrupt your sleeping patterns, making you look and feel tired.

Aside from causing bad breath, smoking also seriously damages your teeth! It causes staining and gum disease that can lead to tooth loss.

Misconceptions

However, people who give up smoking often replace cigarettes with food and drinks which will contribute to weight gain. That said, it is better to be a few pounds heavier and not smoke.
