The skin is the body's largest organ. It is thin and, while tough, is subject to damage in various ways. The two worst are sun exposure and cigarette smoking. Combine the two and you have a recipe for dermatological disaster.

Smoking causes the tiny blood vessels in the skin, called capillaries, to contract so that they do not carry enough blood and nutrients to the skin cells. Along with that, the carbon monoxide in the smoke reduces the ability of the blood to carry oxygen to all parts of the body. The result is, our skin is in a chronic state of semi-starvation and suffocation, even though the rest of our body may be doing ok.

Over time, this causes premature aging. The skin loses its flexibility and becomes wrinkled. This is especially noticeable in women, and it is not unusual for a woman who smokes to have the skin of a 70-year-old when she is in her 40's. Beyond a certain point, even stopping smoking cannot reverse the process.

Smoking and tobacco use in general has many adverse effects on the human body. The drug in tobacco, nicotine, constricts the blood vessels (especially the tiny ones in the skin) and therefore starves the affected area.

A smokers skin will tend to appear dry, discolored and wrinkled at an early age. The effects of smoking are reversible depending on the age of the smoker and the length of time they smoked before quitting. Generally, blood flow will be restored and the damage repaired over time.

The circulation to the skin will improve somewhat, and will probable prevent any more premature degeneration, but your skin will never recover to the point it would have remained if you had never smoked.
