Smoker's Face

Everyone knows cigarettes destroy your health. Smoking is bad for your heart, lungs, brain and so on. It's also ruins your face so badly. The condition is called "smoker's face."

A British doctor studied the relationship between smoking and wrinkling. He found that they were deeply involved. He compared many smokers' and non smokers' skins and found that smokers were nearly five times as likely to be wrinkled as no smokers of the same age and sex. 

Smoking prevents sending nutrients via vessels to skin. That helps aging to your skin, so you look older than your age.  You can see the damaged face if you google smoker's face on the web.

Smoking Ban in China

China's capital city Beijing officials said that they are going to ban on smoking in all indoor public spaces. They are also considering a limit on tabacco advertising. 

China has its about 300 million smokers and smoking is a social custom in the country. Cigarettes are used for an ice breaking item when people meet. 

That strong habit once broke the previous smoking ban law which started in 2008. Even schools were recommended smoking to their students for relaxing, most people had ignored the regulation. 

The new law would set fines of up to $33 for a single violation as the current $1.60 fine. I'm thinking that the fines would be reduced its price and would disappear to officials pocket as a bribe. It would end up in failure again, just my imagine, though. 

A part of the fatal air pollution in China's big cities would come from the puffing cigarettes of the republic people. It might be a long way to reduce smoking in China.

Health Risks from Cigarette Smoking

I listened to The Diane Rehm Show on NPR radio today. One of the topic was health risks from smoking.

In America, nearly 500,000 die from cigarette smoking each year even fewer Americans smoke today. A latest report says so many smoking-related health problems are found so often. 

And the doctor on the show said tabacco campaniles use some ingredients to make people cigarette addict so smokers can't leave smoking easily recently. 

Remember, smoking destroys your health. You should leave the bad habit right now.
