Smoking darkens your lips. It is one of the most obvious signs of a smoker. It also crinkles the tender skin on your lips to give it a lined look.
Smoking is one of the habits that age you very quickly. Smoking depletes the layers of collagen under your skin. As a result you have wrinkles and fine lines on your face.

It is a misnomer that smoking makes you lose weight. In fact, smoking changes your body shape. It makes your limbs appear spindly but highlights belly fat. As a result, smokers look pot bellied.
Even the most expensive perfumes in the world cannot hide the smell of tobacco. Your mouth and entire body stinks of cigarettes when you smoke.
The skin under your eyes is very thin and delicate. One of the first effects of smoking on beauty is under eye dark circles.
When you hold cigarettes regularly, the nicotine in it makes the skin on your fingertips yellow. This patchy yellow skin looks rather ugly.
Smoking thins out your skin and makes it susceptible to infections and allergies.
Smoking puts a yellowish layer on your teeth. In fact chain smokers also have nasty looking black teeth!
Grey hair is a part of premature ageing. So if you have started greying at the temple in your late twenties, it is probably because you smoke too much.
Smoking causes breast cancer and the only way to cure it is mastectomy which mean the complete or partial removal of breasts. Can you imagine how you would look without your breasts?
