Smoker's face - How to know whether the Person is Smoker by Face?

We are all familiar with what some doctors call "smoker's face": fine lines around the mouth from puckering lips; lines near the eyes from squinting through smoke; a grey-tinged complexion caused by nicotine-slowed blood circulation; thin skin, slackness, and dryness. But did you know that smokers also have higher rates of skin cancers and slower wound-healing rates than non-smokers, and are less able to utilize skin-friendly, antioxidant vitamins such as vitamin C? Moreover, cigarette smoke contains high concentrations of nitrogen dioxide ozone, a compound that damages the DNA your skin cells need to efficiently create new cells.

With so much going on in one face, a smoker can appear up to 20 years older than her non-smoking counterparts. For instance, it is common for smokers in their 40s to resemble non-smokers in their 60s. It's no wonder that, after sun exposure, dermatologists list smoking as one of the biggest causes of skin damage.

Several studies have shown that smokers' skin is an average of 40 per cent thinner than nonsmokers' skin. Researchers say that this is due to restricted blood supply and the deterioration of collagen and elastin in the skin- both caused by cigarette smoke.
