For nicotine-dependent people, early aging is characteristic. The faces of smokers are usually flabby, have an unpleasant and unhealthy earthy color, deep nasolabial folds, sunken cheeks. The very skin of the face is dry and reminds parchment. At the outer corners of the eyes, the first "crow's feet" are formed early, and the areas around the eyes acquire a morbid, stale appearance, uncharacteristic - yellowish, bluish, brown or even crimson.

The skin eventually acquires an earthy (gray, and sometimes yellowish) hue, on the area around the lips and chin very quickly there are mimic wrinkles, and because of frequent and deep puffs, the cheeks become hollow. The aging of the skin is explained by the decrease in collagen, because instead of oxygen the body receives smoke-poisoned resin.

Nicotinic, ammoniacal, phenolic compounds released by cigarette smoke settle at the base of the teeth, destroying their roots and mucous gums. In addition, smokers are accompanied by an unpleasant smell from the mouth, which they mask using chewing gum or balloon refresher.

Pay attention to the fingers. Most often, the tips of the index and middle fingers of the right hand (if the person is right handed) have a characteristic yellowish color. From the hands, hair and clothing of the smoker is caught the persistent smell of tobacco fumes, which is unable to hide neither air conditioners for laundry, nor a good perfume. If a person who smokes at the moment does not have the opportunity to smoke, he is unlikely to be able to sit still. Most likely, he will mechanically pull at the small items (pen, keys, fork, napkin, etc.) and show general nervousness.

It is important for parents to understand the signs that will accurately indicate that their child is smoking.
To understand whether a son smokes, simple observation will help. Do not try at the first suspicion to turn out the pockets of the child, scold him and blame him for something, check his personal things. Of course, parents can say that they have every right to do this, but you will only lose the trust of your son. Better instead, watch him for a while: the patience and attention shown can be said more than interrogations and orders. If a child suddenly began to be late from school, started a different company, clearly hides something, does not speak openly, walks gloomy - there is an occasion to talk with his son. When a family has a trusting relationship, such a conversation can help, the teenager admits why he smokes, or you make sure that the suspicions were in vain.
