Vitamin A is also deprived which reduces the amount of elastin and collagen  and so the elasticity and strength.

Exercises are generally for good of the body but smoking exercise is extremely damaging. How many times does a smoker opens and close the mouth, while smoking just one cigarette? While inhaling pursing of the lips is involved, and to avoid smoke in your eyes you squint. It is no wonder that wrinkles soon develop around the lips and eyes. The heat generated from the burning cigarette will definitely change the colour of the lips with the small black patches looking dirty and unappealing!
