Copyright © 2006 DBA AdPro Media Sales, All Rights Reserved Written by: Kamau Austin Health and Fitness Vitality http://www.healthandfitnessvitality.com Scientific advancements have brought about many welcome changes in our lives, but there are two sides to those advancements. Technology and modern advancements have encouraged people to develop some undesirable habits like smoking and drug and alcohol addiction. You build the cable of a habit one thread at a time. Every day you make choices that lead to habits. It can be hard to break the cycle of those choices. What starts as a pastime stays on to take its toll on your health and make you an addict. Addiction is the saturation point at which you realize it is high time to get rid of that bad habit. Can You Justify Smoking? Smokers justify their habit with the following reasons: * Smoking gives them pleasure * Smoking relieves their depression and makes them feel lighter * People in their social circle smoke Most people began as occasional, light smokers. They failed to realize that one day, they would be dependant on this "occasional" habit. The situation is beginning to change. People have begun to think twice before lighting up. This awareness comes from the proven health hazards of smoking. How Smoking Affects Your Skin You need to be awareness of the affects of smoking on your skin and overall looks. This is what smoking does to your skin. * The beauty and youthful look of your skin is largely determined by adequate moisture and oxygen content. Smoking denies an adequate supply of oxygen to your skin and dehydrates it. While you are enjoying puffs from your cigarette, you are inviting trouble to your system. Your lungs are the first victims In just one puff, more than a trillion free radicals are created in your lungs. These radicals, in turn, induce an inflammatory reaction that gets circulated throughout the whole body. * Smoking causes sun damage. The nicotine present in cigarettes is the cause for this affect. It makes you look much older than you are. * Cigarette smoke contains more than 4,000 toxins that enter your bloodstream directly, and consequently, affect your skin's appearance. The top layers of the skin constrict and that reduces your blood's oxygen content and substitutes it with carbon monoxide. With less oxygen in the blood, toxins and other wastes remain in your system, causing it to age prematurely. In addition, the collagen level of your skin is greatly reduced when you smoke. * Smoking causes heavy damages to a woman's system by creating an imbalance in her hormone levels and dramatically altering her body shape. This is caused by a disturbance in endocrinal glands. A research report says that if a woman smokes a pack per day for 40 years, it can accelerate her aging by 7.4 years Generally, smoking causes pallor of your skin and adds a grey shade. Proof Of The Ill Effects Of Smoking To emphasize the ill effects of smoking on your skin, a term "smoker's face" was added to the medical dictionary. This condition is caused when the skin in your face shows the lines and wrinkles which make you look older-all due to smoking! The smoker's features are thin and gaunt. There are clear signs of premature aging induced by poor blood circulation. Evidences show that a smoker's skin is more than 40% thinner than a non-smoker. When you smoke, you are introducing stimulants into your system that affect your blood vessels. It has also been proven that smoking causes certain types of skin cancer. Further research is being undertaken to study the cosmetic effects that smoking has on your skin. For example, smoking dries your skin, especially in the areas affected by the nicotine smoke. Nicotine is a diuretic and can reduce vitamin A in your body. Such a detailed analysis of how smoking affects your skin and looks should be sufficient to encourage you to choose to quit smoking! It is one of the single biggest ways you improve the health of your skin and your body.
