Second hand smoking: Second hand smoking can be as bad as smoking yourself. You can have all the negatives that a smoker will have if you are breathing in the same harmful chemicals. Kissing per se should not be the cause of the wrinkles.

No, BUT: This is a great question. Smoking causes wrinkles both because of the inhaled carbon monoxide, cyanide and other toxic things gassed off when tobacco is burned, and because you use the muscles around your lips to "suck" in the smoke, which causes "smoker's lines". The real question is, are you hanging around this smoking person while smoking? Or breathing his clothes or hair? Help him stop!
