Effects of Long Term Smoking pt.1

There are many aspects of smoking that are quite negative, especially to a vanity driven culture. What I'm specifically referring to is the loss of elasticity and firmness of the skin, particularly the face. We, as a culture, are caught up in the Botox and surgery loop and are being compelled to continue down that avenue else feel the effect of the snub by our peers. I personally could care less what someone thinks of my appearance so long as I'm happy with it. Many others are opting for collagen implants, Juvederm treatments, and even physical skin stretching to roll back the years of abuse, which is doubled when you factor in normal aging. The best answer would be to never start smoking but for many, including myself, that's no longer an option unless Mr. Wizard's time machine is now working. Help Mr. Wizard, I've got a wrinkle!
