Lightbulb I personally

think the monoxide alone is a huge culprit.

Monoxide alone seriously affects the skin of smokers...they age far faster
than nonsmokers. I have seen women 20 yrs younger than I who look older
than I do! (I have to take date of birth on new patients).

And smokers have restrictions about bone fusions, and also stimulate liver enzymes. Some drugs are cleared much faster in smokers and need higher doses to work..theophylline and birth control pills are examples.
