Just Say No

Not to be all after school special here, but I just read on BellaSugar how terrible smoking is for your overall appearance. Now, I have no doubt most of us have taken a drag here and there. I actually had developed a semi regular social smoking habit in college, which picked up again when I lived in New York as a beauty PR girl. My co-workers and I would go outside in the middle of the day for "smoke breaks" when really what we were looking for was a please get me the hell out of this office for 5 minutes and I guess I'll smoke a cigarette while I'm downstairs break. Not to mention all of the cigarette-fueled happy hours.

I haven't had a cigarette in eons, and after reading this post, I never will again. We all know smoking causes serious health problems (um, lung cancer anyone??), but sometimes we need to appeal to the vanity in people to inspire them to finally kick the habit. In a nutshell: smoking causes wrinkles, not just on the face but the entire body, gray-toned skin, gaunt features and shriveling up like a prune. Read all the gory details here on BellaSugar.
