Question 1

how does smoking affect your lips?

Accepted Answer

Badly: Smoking affects "lip lines" in two ways:
1.  The repetitive movement around the lips as a result of puckering repetitvely can lead to vertical lines around the mouth.
2.  More importantly, smoking can lead to elastic fiber and collagen degeneration in the skin, which as a result, can lead to sagging and wrinkling of the perioral skin.

Question 2

why do lips color turn black due to smoking?

Accepted Answer

Smoker's Dark Lips: The  tar tends to stain your lips, teeth and gum. The simple and fast way to get back the colour of your lips is to quit smoking.

Question 3

how to cure naturally dark lips for male? not caused due to smoking...

Accepted Answer

Good question: I'm not a dermatologist.  I would expect it is secondary to melanocytes in the dermis.  These melanocytes can be reduced in numbers by freezing like they do for warts and other skin conditions.   I think it would be safe on the lips but this warrants a dermatology consult.

Question 4

Yes: Yes, smoking not only cause wrinkles around your mouth, it causes wrinkles elsewhere on your face.

Question 5

Question 6

hi i have age lines on my lips i think from smoking..as well as quitting what can i do to stop the lines?

Accepted Answer

Quit Smoking: The vertical lines on the lips are a well-known side effect of smoking.  Perhaps injections may help--but the best thing you can do to prevent them from getting worse is to do that which is very difficult--quit smoking.  If that's what's happening to your lips, just think what's happening to your lungs--and arteries.

Question 7

how to avoid lips cancer from smoking?

Accepted Answer

Don't Smoke: I have a sneaking suspicion you knew the answer to this question.  Quit now before any of the terrible effects of smoking can occur. Trust me, "i'll quit when i'm older" is a bad plan. The best time is now. Good luck!

Question 8

how to prevent purple lips while smoking?

Accepted Answer

Don't smoke: I am not aware of any way to prevent the darkening of skin or lips when exposed to tobacco smoke.  Seriously, why find a way to prevent a cosmetic effect of a drug which is the number one preventible cause of death in the us (as well as elsewhere), causing premature heart disease, stroke, cancer, emphysema, bronchitis and dozens of other serious health problems, as well as fires ;other accidents?

Question 9

why do lips turn pale blue when smoking?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: If your lips are turning blue, it is because you are suffering from lack of oxygen.  In people who already have severe damage, like chronic bronchitis or emphysema (COPD), the further reduction in oxygen levels associated with smoking can make lips or fingers turn blue. This is a dangerous situation for your health. See your doctor AND QUIT SMOKING NOW, while you still have a chance.

Question 10

why do i have pouty lips after quitting smoking?

Accepted Answer

Not sure: I'm not sure what you mean by 'pouty lips'. Are they swollen? Are you licking your lips? Is there a new habit that you've taken on? None of these are a common issue after quitting smoking, but strong work doing this! some people get stressed for a few weeks after quitting -- suggest you get plenty of sleep, drink enough water, eat healthy food. Off tobacco, you can probably exercise more. Congrats.
