Re: Stopping Smoking Globally (14th Jan 14 at 10:57am UTC)
Smokers more worried about their looks than their health: Half who gave up or intend to did so because of fears over appearance

Biggest concern was discoloured teeth, followed by bad breath
Also worried about missing teeth, wrinkly lips, bad skin and ashen pallor
On average, smokers began to see ravages of habit by age 32
Four in ten spend longer on their beauty regime to compensate the effects
