Non-smoking is good for your looks!

6th November 2013, (http://www.carepharmacyrx.com/) : Most of us are aware of the adversities of smoking especially the effects it causes on respiratory system. Along with this disaster, smoking can cause another trauma- it accelerates the aging process. The recent study of identical twins revealed that smoking not only takes heavy toll on the health but it can also cause premature aging along with damage to almost all the organs.

The research included 79 pairs of identical twins in which one twin smoked and the second one did not. The twins were asked to fill questionnaires regarding their smoking habits and lifestyle. Individual pictures were snapped by the professional photographer.

Twins’ facial features were than analyzed by a panel of three plastic surgeons. A standardized assessment tool was used to grade amount of aging for each individual. Other factors like alcohol, work stress that are likely to cause skin damage were also taken into account using the data filled in questionnaires. The smoking twin appeared older than his sibling in 57% of photographs.

It was found that smoking twins had low ratings for baggy eyes, wrinkles and baggy cheeks. They also showed more signs like wrinkles, creases, jowls and saggy skin compared to their twin siblings who didn’t smoke.

For further assessment, researchers also compared twins where both of them were smokers. But one of them had prolonged duration of smoking than the other. Researchers found that more is the duration of smoking, greater is the aging process. The twin, who had smoked for a longer period, appeared older in 64% of the cases. Researchers argued that smoking usually causes premature aging of lower face in 2/3rd of cases.

Researchers explained that smoking robs body cells of necessary oxygen supply and affects a person’s skin tone. It may damage connective tissues like fibers and elastin which help to retain skin elasticity. A less taut skin is more prone to effects of gravity. Researchers believe that research findings give an additional reason to quit smoking.
