Another\u00a0study\u00a0has found that smoking really does make you age faster and look older.<\/p>\n
The study says in addition to other issues it makes your skin dry, sallow and more wrinkled due to a loss of elasticity caused by smoke; you may also develop tell-tale wrinkles around your mouth caused by puckering. Depending on when you start smoking, these symptoms can set in during your early 30s.<\/p>\n
They also found that teen tobacco use has been climbing since 2018 as vaping has grown in popularity.<\/p>\n
