A member asked:

What kind of changes in appearance can i expect from quitting smoking?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nothing dramatic: Alcohol increases the aging of the skin, and depending on how long you have smoked, how heavily, and how much damage has already occurred, you may find that your skin is smoother, more flexible and less wrinkled. Nicotine stains ultimately wear off after cessation. But dramatic changes in appearance do not occur.
