this post is for users who think smoking would make them look cooler, and for users who are struggling with this addiction. (tldr at the bottom)
Face and body:
I go on a cycle when i’m faced with stress ( Engineering degree in a top school)
I smoke for a year then quit for 9-10 months, then i smoke again and the cycle repeats it self.
I used to do it cold turkey, its the best way to flush the nicotine and the carbon monoxide out from ur blood stream but the first three weeks are HELL, after that ur gucci.
ATM im off the smokes for the two months and a half but this time im using nicotine patches for the first time and it makes it much much more easier, im gonna stay on the patch for a couple of weeks more so the carbon monoxide thats inside my red blood cells would flush out and get replaced by oxygen, but im still pumping nicotine into my bloodstream but mind you, nicotine it self isn't that bad, its a stimulant just like caffeine, what makes cigarettes so bad for ur health ( and consequently your looks) is the carbon monoxide that hinders your bloodstream from transporting all its juicy nutrients to the rest of the body.
Carbon monoxide also affect your gut microbiome and fucks it up big time, which in return makes ur body not absorb ur food properly to feed ur skin, bones and hair.
Since i quit this habit i started to have more energy throughout the day (thnx oxygen filled red blood cells) and have started to do HIIT training again, it also affected my blood sugar and im not as hungry as i used to be, in these two and a half months i made more weightloss gains then i did this entire year.
My hair is less oily when i don't wash it for two-three days with shampoo.
My sleep quality improved alot and i no longer have dark circles under my eyes.
Social results:
All my family members have commented on how much healthier im looking and how im not as “tired looking” as i usually am, my brother have also commented on how my eyes returned how it used to be when i was a teen, i had big eyes, and he also commented on how my eye lashes and eye brows and how dense they have gotten.
Friends i havent met in a long time because of covid also told me that i look much more healthier and better looking.
TL;DR smoking isnt cool and fucks u up big time.
