OK!!!!

I'm cutting down at least..........I look slightly better.....I think???

yes. it causes premature wrinkles.

Yea, eye bags, premature wrinkles, yellow teeth, bad breath. The works....

indeed  why do you think volcanos have craters ..

I've got great skin (now watch me get a pimple....) and I'm a heavy smoker. I have smoker's lines but that doesn't count for complexion......

I believe so, I gave up for a time and was astonished by comments on how good I looked, people commented on me losing a "grey, sallow" color and having a healthy "glow" (I have since started smoking again...ugh)

Well i  weigh nearly 28stone,and my skin is like a babys bum,

Yes it does, it makes you look about ten years older.

The skin is affected by tobacco smoke in at least two ways. Firstly, tobacco smoke
released into the environment has a drying effect on the skin’s surface. Secondly,
because smoking restricts blood vessels, it reduces the amount of blood fl owing to the
skin, thus depleting the skin of oxygen and essential nutrients.

Some research suggests that smoking may reduce the body’s store of Vitamin A, which
provides protection against some skin-damaging agents produced by smoking.1 Another
likely explanation is that squinting in response to the irritating nature of the smoke, and
the puckering of the mouth when drawing on a cigarette causes wrinkling around the
eyes and mouth.

Skin damaged by smoke has a greyish, wasted appearance. Research has shown that
the skin-ageing effects of smoking may be due to increased production of an enzyme
that breaks down collagen in the skin.3 Collagen is the main structural protein of the skin
which maintains elasticity. The more a person smokes, the greater the risk of premature
wrinkling. Darkening of the skin around the eyes is also a possible effect of smoking.
