Although smoking is bad for one’s health, many still see it fashionable. They smoke at any point in time not considering the smelly smoke it leaves on their dress plus.
The fact that smoking has always been featured in television and movies as a feature of fashion does not make it fashionable. I have a colleague who sneaks out of the office to smoke a stick of cigarette. After returning, the smelly smoke that hangs around his dress has always been irritating; talking to him at that moment is another repulsive thing ever. Smoking is dangerous for health likewise your fashion life. Here are the two things you should consider as a FASHIONISTA and a SMOKER
1. Smelling like smoke
There’s no mistaking the smell of cigarette smoke, and it’s not one many people describe favorably.
“Some of the media campaigns have compared kissing a smoker to licking an ashtray,” Schroeder says.
2. Premature aging
“One of the chief and significant causes of premature aging of the face is smoking,” Fiore says. Skin changes, like leathery skin and deep wrinkling, are more likely in people who are regular smokers. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, smoking leads to biochemical changes in the body that speed the aging process. For example, smoking deprives the living skin tissue of oxygen by causing constriction of the blood vessels. As a result, blood doesn’t get to your organs as easily, and that includes the skin.
Another classic smoker giveaway is tar staining of the hands and skin from holding cigarettes. “Burning cigarette smoke is most apparent around the face and I think that what we sometimes see is staining of the skin from the tars and other deadly toxins in tobacco smoke,” Fiore says.
Fiore also points out that the muscle actions required to inhale lead to the classic smoker’s wrinkles around the mouth.
