cigarette smoking effects on skin
ONE FAG A DAY -anyone else do this?
I smoke one to two cigarettes a day. Before you ask “Why do you bother…” it helps me relax, it gives me a buzz, makes me feel faint and nice and helps me reflect. It’s nice to go outside for a few minutes and just stare into space, and get a little endorphin rush. However am concerned that it may give me wrinkles – I am 27 and have really beautiful skin, and full lips……
If there is anyone else who does this please let me know what long term effects it had on you, or if you notice it affecting your health or skin in any way. I will never go above a ten pack a week so addiction will not be a problem – I don’t have an addictive personalitty.
Would really appreciate help and advice on this. I don’t like feeling guilty every time I light up! 
“I don’t have an addictive personality” – yes, you do. If you were not addicted, then you wouldn’t think about how it gives you a buzz, and wouldn’t need it to relax. Otherwise you wouldn’t feel the need to do it, and wouldn’t even think about turning to cigarettes to relax.
I know people who started like that, and now they are all full blown cigarette smokers. Of course you will eventually smoke more, your personality means nothing – your biological system that gets physically more and more addicted to nicotine will get addicted. You will be another one of those regular 40yr old smokers I work with, who started off saying “I won’t addicted”.
Long term effects, especially at your age now? You will become more and more short of breath, saturated fat will collect in your arteries increasing the risk of heart disease and heart attack, your skin, nails and hair will become increasingly dehydrated and your teeth will stain. You will increase your risks of mouth and throat cancer, will damage the natural collagen in your lips, and finally, will smell like crap.
It doesn’t matter that you only smoke 2 a day – you immediately allow cigarettes to attack your body with 1 cig.
If you decide to quit while you’re ahead, then great – enjoy your years of looking youthful instead of enjoying time stood outside in the rain coughing.

Without a comparison to cigarettes, what are the effects of cannabis smoking to the body?
I’m in no way against marijuana, but I’m not believing that cannabis is good for you either. Without comparing it with tobacco, how would you characterize the effects of cannabis smoke on the lungs, skin, fitness, and/or body? Please be specific.
It doesn’t have much of a bad affect.
I really do hate some people.
Like the person saying it makes you play video games all day.
My brother graduated with a 4.3 smoking weed every day
I have a 3.6 I smoke weed pretty frequently.
I can still run.
Hold my breath under water.
There has been scientific studies that there has been no
known deaths EVER from marijuana usage.
In fact, why would they give to glaucoma, cancer, and aids
patients if it could be harmful to them?
I’m not saying people should smoke weed everyday all day
that WILL make you lazy.
But smoking weed 2 or 3 times a week.
It’s not really going to have a bad affect on you.
Unless you let it have one.

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
