How Cigarettes Affect Beauty: What Smoking Cigs Does to Your Skin + Teeth 

If you want to save money and look healthy and younger. Do not drink to much, smoke, or do drugs. Get enough sleep. Wash your face every night. Do not wear makeup every day. Drink water. Eat fruits especially berries, melons, and squash.

It is well to remember that a smoker is an addict. U have to have a fix every so often. I started smoking at 14 and quit at 28. I am 88 now and I had a lung X-ray a couple of years ago and the Dr. said the effects of smoking were still visible. A side benefit of quitting smoking is that I have never had a migraine since I quit. I use to get one a month. Another benefit is the lack of brown tartar on the backs of my teeth. I too, think quitting smoking is the best thing one can do for ones health.

I smoked tobacco for 31 years. I quit at 43 after starting at 12, that was 5 years ago now & Iv seen an definite improvement in my skin texture, among other benefits.

SO proud of myself for quitting smoking! Only month 5 of not smoking. Im happy to turn 36 tomorrow as a non smoker!!! 🚭 and hopefully can spend the rest of my life reversing some of the damage I have done being a smoker 10 years.

I'm from Europe and everybody around me has been smoking - be it my highschool classmates, university classmates, colleagues, just friends..... everybody smokes here... almost... when I was young, 14-20, I almost felt like an outcast because everybodoy was socializing when having a cig, for example we would have a break at the UNI and everybody just went outside the building to smoke and chat. Sometimes I would go out with them even if it was January winter, just to stand there with them in the cold, otherwise, I'd be somewhere at the buffet inside alone not being able to socialize with others or talk to my classmates. But I also kinda feel good that I didn't fall into this trap of smoking. I wish everyone who's trying to quit good luck. It's also weird to observe my colleagues to use every minute of free time during work, to have a smoke. It looks desperate. I can see them physically thinking about smoking as we are getting closer to having a break. If we have break 2 times, they'll smoke 2 times... If we have break 5 times, they'll smoke 5 times. It makes me feel sad for them. Addictions are weird and sad

I quit smoking when I was 33, started at age 13, it couldn’t have happened soon enough. I hated doing it for at least 8 years, before I finally quit… my mom was diagnosed with cancer, she asked me to quit & finally, I did. She died at age 59 in 2014, she smoked until she was 39.

I’ve been telling friends for 30+ years that smoking dramatically ages the skins and if you combine it with tanning you are gonna look much older! Weirdly many of my friends that mostly smoked looked fine until a couple of months after their 40th birthday and then WHAM! Their wrinkles suddenly appeared. I was teased about my sunscreen/avoiding the sun in the 80’s and 90’s but I’ve converted some people to my sunscreen habit! Interesting about the stem cells. I was in a chemical acid when I was 9 and it weakened my lungs. I’m going to look into this!

I used to smoke and drink and I look a lot older than my friends my age who didn’t. Wish I had known it also impacts the looks. When I found out it still took me a decade to finally successfully kick the addiction. This year I intend to quit alcohol too.

Quitting smoking is one of the best thing I have done in my life. I recommand it to everyone.

Oh finally someone who adresses this isue, thanks in advance for making this, the world needs this. Everyone kno, that they r bad for the health, but not everyone seems to know that it is also bad for the looks

You think you can get away with it when you’re young but you’ll find out when older. A life time of smoking will take its toll. If it’s knackering the outside of your body, the skin- think what it’s doing to the inside.

I am so grateful my parents told me and scared the crap out of me “consistently” not to smoke or do drugs. Phew! 😅 I am 44, will be 45, and aging started sucking at age 43 for me so I couldn’t imagine tacking on 🚬. 🤮

The lights looking like flowers in bloom though….😂😂 Nice touch dr.

Thanks for the video! Can you talk about the effects of marijuana smoking on beauty & health? I know it's not as bad as ciggarettes, but I would think that any type of smoke entering your lungs is probably not great. I just wonder to what extent.

let's be kind towards smokers; i never thought i would touch a cigarette, but knowing my mental health diagnosis helps to explain why i would self medicate with whatever was available to me. another way to prevent premature aging is advocating for comprehensive mental health education so all people have the opportunity to live their best lives looking the way they want to look rather than the way a substance affects their appearance!

what it does to your eye sight is frightening it contains arsenic

Smoking is undoubtedly one of the worst habits. I wish people would never engage in it. It's one of those toxic habits that can come back to haunt you years after you stop smoking. I believe that Leonard Nimoy died from COPD, or complications involving COPD, decades after he stopped smoking. How incredibly sad! Just don't get involved with something that will bring you down.

People who smoke typically also have bad dietary habits too. I gave up sugar years ago because it breaks down collagen, started eating more protein and fat, take quality multivitamins, and just try to be healthier from the inside. So far, it's working

My 33 year old son smoked so many cigarettes (wouldn't listen or make changes) and all his teeth rotted away. Can only imagine what the cigarettes did to the rest of his body. 😕 😲

I’ve listened to so much information about smoking and drinking, and, honestly, I’m really glad to finally hear something concrete and detailed, without standard common banal phrases. That’s great!

I came of age in the 60s when smoking was rampant, and many of my friends especially females showed the damage from smoking over the years. Please do a video on those lip lines often associated with smoking, but others get them too, like my non-smoking sister.

And Lindsey is so attractive with red hair! The bleach blonde color does not look good.

AND YES YALL this does also apply to marijuana smoking as well

I went to the same hairstylist for many years and she was a heavy smoker. As soon as she was done with a client she would rush outside the salon to smoke. She reeked of cigarette smoke. We were the same age but her skin was like a road map of lines - the wrinkles went in every direction. She was only in her early 30s. She moved away several years ago. I looked her up on Facebook recently and I did not even recognize her. OMG her skin looked mummified.

I don't like smoking but also I can't blame people who smoker

Smoking wrecks your face. It just dries everything out so badly.

I am an aesthetician, and something I have noticed with clients that smoke is, when they speak, only their bottom teeth show. I think it’s from sucking? It could just be a fluke; however, at some point, after I notice the bottom teeth, they tell me they smoke and ask me to pay attention to the tell tale areas. I always do; and, whether they see it or not, I give extra attention to their chin and jowls. When I try to talk (looking in a mirror), with only my bottom teeth showing, it is extremely uncomfortable as a non smoker. I was just wondering if this is a real characteristic or not. Has anyone else noticed this?

If Lindsay Lohan is watching this, I recommend she follow Grabrielle Bernstein. She was a drug addict. I remember her saying how much damage it did to her body and face and that it will take years to see changes back to a healthy and younger look as the body heals itself. Looking at Gabrielle now since she spoke about this, I do see great changes in her appearance. I really can't imagine the type of world Lindsay Lohan has had to deal with at such a young age. I hope she finds healing and peace, and takes the time she needs to find a healthy path and to treat her self and body with respect and love. There are so many opportunities for her to find that. It may take leaving the spotlight for a while and living abroad, and doing some meaningful work there.

For your next video, are you able to talk about plasma pen/phi-ion? Pros and cons? Love your personality and channel 😊

Recently I have been in a straining attempt to stop smoking. This video is indeed inspiring in that sense. Thank you so much. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏻🥳

Title should have included vaping.

I think Lindsay was smoking something a little stronger than cigarettes at the time of that photo!

Know someone who's losing eyesight from heavy smoking.

My father & mother dropped dead, smoking. In the 80s, I researched the ingredients in cigs. At the time, the US didn’t disclose ingredients, so I looked at UK, similar. The chemicals are shocking. Enhancers for smoke curl, color; crackle; burn & more. Cigarettes should be illegal. Families suffer, the health industry burdened. I grew up in smoke then worked in it 20 yrs, office lack of air circulation, had tremendous headaches. Indoor smoking is not allowed in any public facility/restaurant in GA. Thank goodness. Not a headache since.

it is the worst habit for your skin and teeth.....just wait till you find out what it does to your sight.

I’m a man in my 50’s now and when I was dating I’d always avoid women that smoked because most of my family smoked and I saw the effects and I know that smokers rarely quit and for women, if they do finally quit, the damage is already in place and it’ll hit her later on as well as near term. My wife has always taken care of herself and she has slow aging genes so people always assume she’s 12-15 years younger.

I work in retail and I sometimes i have to do breaks in the kiosk ,the amount of cigarettes I sell is unbelievable,the amount, the cost but people find the money , generally it's £. 50.00.pounds or about £100 pounds,people also tend to go for the cheapest ones,and buy lots of them,it's the cost that determines their choice!!!!! 😳🇬🇧

I am a man who smoked for over 20 years and quit at the age of 40 I'm almost 60 and still look a lot younger than I am simply because I used Noxzema to cleanse my face every night before I went to bed I still use it and I swear by it

I'm a year older than Lindsey, and yes she really aged herself with her bad habits (drugs, cigarettes', alcohol, over tanning, bleaching her hair). The attitude and laughing however is disrespectful and un-processional.

The synergy of smoking plus alcohol use is particularly aging. Yikes. NB Smoking also contributes to an earlier menopause and consequent aging.💔 I hope she can get off the substances.

Great video

True about Lindsay but she has been healthier for the past few years and looks better now. Look at her in the new supper bowl Commercial

I have been wanting someone to put out a video like this. I started smoking in my early teens and quit at 22 cold turkey because I couldn’t breathe. I now look younger than I did at 17, and I’m 29. I wish I never did it in the first place because of the effects it can have on you later in life.

I’ve seen the effects of smoking, drinking, and tanning in young women and how they look so much older than they actually are. It’s jarring to see the damage, the texture, the wrinkles, the dryness, etc.

What do you look for when choosing a doctor to get stem cells from? What do you need to know to make sure it’s done correctly? I know there’s always people selling something similar but not as effective, so trying to figure out how to avoid that.

I never started smoking because I knew I'd just look like an insecure teenager trying to look cool!

D.A.R.E taught me this & it always stuck

So glad i never started smoking, very rarely drink, and don’t do drugs lol also im never in the sun 😭

In my youth I hated the way my clothes and hair stank of smoke after being in a night club. I smelt like an ash tray. I never smoked or drank no sun allways wore a hat. In my sixtys I have no wrinkles. Eat organic also. No sugar very little carbs. Negatives are I have extream trauma from childhood and am bipolar. I take Lithium. Had to take a couple of other drugs that made me put on wieght but I stopped those and lost some of the weight. No matter what you do theres always something to knock you down.

Imagine what it does to the inside of your body I quit when I was 21 I was sick of smelling like an ash tray. Can you leave the photos up longer?

All the money in the world won't keep you from getting lung cancer. Why, why women smoke just baffles me. The smell of 2nd-hand smoke just makes me really ill. I suffer from MCS and if there's smoke in the air (cigarette, wood, fire, weed, etc.) it's like having a claustrophobia attack.

Where can I get these stem cells? They have these at Walmart or … ?

I needed this, I've been smoking for 5 years and I'm starting to notice my teeth are looking yellow this is good motivation to quit!

It is sad, almost every child star was the main breadwinner for their "family" i.e. predatory parents and Lindsay Lohan was no exception, look at her role models, like Britney Spears "parents" the Lohan's enriched themselves for decades on the back of their CHILD.

Can you make a Video about tear troughs?

I have never been a smoker, or tanned excessively. I learned in my 20’S that tanning wasn’t good for you, and using sunscreen daily.

She is also out in the sun a lot.

Does smoking affect the appearance of cellulite at all? If so, about how long after cessation will this improve?

I've heard Angelina Jolie still smokes too. I wonder if that's true.

Never even tried to smoke! My childhood best friend have smoked all her adult life. Her skin looks like a piece of old wrinkled / cracked/ dirt dry leather… And she still smokes 🙀

My sister is 3 years older than me and smokes. She looks 15 years older than me.

Can you do a video on smoking weed on beauty

This video made me light a 🚬 immediately!

Where do the stem cells come from?????

Ok can you tell me I’m not crazy for noticing my pores are bigger since I’ve started vaping cannabis? I know it’s kind of different but I’m noticing my skin aging so fast so I’m stopping but it’s just crazy to notice at 25

What about tatoos?

The funniest video 🤣🤣🤣💝

Dr, does smoking m j have the same effect? My guess is yes. But would like to hear what you say. Thx.

When i Stop it can repear itself dr😶

I live on England, 🇬🇧 far away Doctor, I am not a very trusting person,but I agree with what you say,if I had the time,and I know I could not afford you,unless I win some money 💸 I would pick you Doctor,I would allow you just to do a few procedures on my face,all to make me like fresh and natural!!!!!!😳🇬🇧

40? Lol. I looked way better at 40 than that.

I started smoking at 17 and now at 34 I still look amazing!! I’ve also worked in the dental field since I was 18 and my teeth are perfect and hardly any staining. I have ZERO wrinkles and people say I look like I’m 21. My routine: I brush my teeth daily and whiten once a year. My skin care routine has been the same since late teens: African black soap to cleanse fallowed by coconut oil morning and night.

What I really want to see commentary on, and what videos like this seem to be lacking (no shade, I get that the research might not be there and I appreciate what you have done)- is the longterm effects of smoking pot. Many people who talk about how smoking ages you avoid mentioning marijuana, and only comment on cigarettes. With legalization sweeping through states in the US, I know this is a relevant topic. Many stoners will say "But weed is different!". But I want to know _just how different_ . There isn't much research into this because of how long it took to legalize, and the fact that it has not been federally descheduled, but still. As someone who partakes, I definitely can't believe it's completely neutral and would love to see more people who work in the beauty industry speak openly on this topic. I know it's bad for me, and absolutely don't believe that it's completely neutral. But, is there a difference? And I know, for all the pot heads reading this- Yes! It has only one ingredient. It's not saturated in additional carcinogens. But, the main thing that ages the skin itself is the act of smoking, not what you're smoking. So it has to still be pretty bad, right?

Would growing up in a smoking household or living with a smoker cause some of those damages long term? If so, what can we do to mitigate that?

Do Keanu Reeves next ;)

Lindsay lohan HAD perfect teeth.

I don’t know how people can smoke , it’s such a disgusting habit ! With all the knowledge on the effects of smoking it just comes down to stupidly !

Dr Motykie looks like Leslie Nielson (Just don't call him Shirley😄).

it was not smoking cigarettes that made Lindsay‘s teeth look like that… it was smoking crack…

Huh, I knew that smoking is very bad for skin but those twin faces really showed it! 😳 You just spent large summs of money to destroy your beauty while smoking 😒 Total opposite of plastic surgery which should make you the best version from yourself.

I don't think it makes that much of a difference to looks tbh.

guys like to bully women by telling them they have "pre mature aging".

She has aged horribly. I'm her exact age. She's one month older, actually 2 weeks older and she looks about 10-15 years older than me.

25 going on 40 🤣

Detox? Seriously?

Even the thought of smoking makes me sick. Thank goddess I am soul sensitive. As well alcohol dewing same thing. #Inflamaging #microcirculation

Coffee can yellow teeth too.

Please leave poor Lindsey Lohan alone. Does she even know you are using her in this way. It is mean.

Pretty sure Lindsay L smoked more than just cigarettes....and that stuff will rot your teeth

Smoking is vulgar.

There are much worst looking smokers than Lindsay Lohan, they ha ve that horrible smokers voice, poor Lucille ball certainly had it when she got older. Plus many others.

Smoking looks like the person smoked themselves.

She probably got Botox as well.

Cigarettes affect women worse than men. A lot of men who smoke don't look any worse than other men their age, either. Testosterone, maybe? Then there's the quality of cigarettes. Whatever Connery and Eastwood were smoking in their youth probably wasn't genetically modified tobacco dusted in chemicals and rolled in synth paper.

I’m sure you weren’t deliberately bashing Lindsay Lohan, but the giggling back and forth was rude and unprofessional. If the video is about the effects of smoking, maybe focus on that rather than the silliness.

BOTOX IS NOT A SKIN CARE

Oh nonsense. I've smoked 30 years. None of these issue. At 45 everyone thinks my 8 yr old grandson in my son. I had 4 breast implants surgeries, my last one 9 months ago. I smoked before I walked into the OR. I smoked sitting in the wheel chair waiting for the car. Retinol is your friend. Stress,poverty,lack of sleep, crappy diet, start early aging.

I’m not a smoker myself but these stupid anti smoke videos are so annoying. No, smoking is unhealthy? wow, worldnews. Tell us something we don't know; Unsubscribed

I'm 51 and still don't have any major wrinkles. I smoked on and off for thirty years and I don't have any mouth wrinkles from it. I have a skincare routine and moisturize my face twice a day. For whatever reason I won the genetic lottery.
