Hi guys what bothers me the most about the smoking is that you get laugh lines that give you away as a smoker or x smoker around your mouth.The lines that slant down on both sides.
These lines are quite visible and I hate them does any one have any suggestions on how they can be plumped out without cosmetic enhancements fillers etc as Im 26 and I think I look old!!
I have been blowing outwards quite a lot the opposite of inhaling smoke so wondering if this may help at all!
Any suggestions??

I amazingly didn't get them... i did get the dark spots though, and they are beginning to deminish.. doubt they'll ever go away.
Anyhow, I am going to asume that your lines will plump up. The smoking broke down the collogen around your mouth, and I am thinking that it will rebuilt itself.

HI Shaila,
Please pat yourself on the back for having the sense to quit at the age you are!!! Those lines will begin to go after you have been quit for a while....certainly they should diminish.
What you should not develop are the other horrible ones ...the vertical ones around your mouth from the puckering as you held a cigarette in your mouth!!! I quit nearly 2 years ago after 40 years of smoking.....there is no remedy for my lines, but even so, they did reduce a bit after a while.
Stick with your quit Shaila and you will reap so many more benefits than a reduction in lines.................how about an increase in life!!!! Way to go!!!
NEVER LOOK BACK, THE FUTURE IS AHEAD!!!
Lolly. :)
