I don`t think there`s any difference.. I used to smoke and the only time me face used to change was when it was turning BLUE from coughing all the time.

Wiki - The general appearance is of accelerated aging of the face, with a characteristic pattern of facial wrinkling and sallow coloration.
"Smoker's face" occurs because toxins involved in the smoking process create a ... present in the buttock skin of smokers when compared to that of non-smokers.
So those who took up smoking 'cos they thought it was glamorous may have smoked their glamorous looks out their mouths and nostrils.

it was observed that heavy smoking could cause visible changes in a person's complexion. This included premature wrinkling and a loss of elasticity in the skin, giving the smoker a rough, haggard appearance, and a slightly reddened or orange complexion.

The symptoms of "Smoker's face" include a number of distinct characteristics. Prominent lines and wrinkles are usually noticeable emanating from the corners of the eyes ("crow's feet"), even extending on to the cheek. The cheeks themselves may appear sunken. Other wrinkle lines become etched perpendicular to the lips, with shallow lines forming on the cheeks and lower jaw. Some male smokers may also develop a distinctive feature referred to as "cobblestone wrinkles", which are wrinkles that run down the back of the neck. The underlying bone structure of the face becomes more visible under drawn, taunt skin that has lost its elasticity. The skin may take on a dry, tough and leathery appearance. A mottled, slightly reddened, orange and purple complexion may occur because of inadequate oxygenation of the blood, similar to what occurs during cyanosis. On other occasions, the smoker's complexion may develop a grey, unnatural pallor because it is more atrophied than a non-smoker's skin.

This is what happens when you own a book store over analyze too much daggs I gave up smoking over 8 years ago and my skin is better because I don't smoke but it wasn't that bad when I did smoke plus I was a heavy smoker too.

day before yesterday daggy posted the following in the meaning of life thread:
Like anything, people can come up with excuses for their own actions, ie: it's just a game - pokie machine, people smoke 'til they're 100yo - smoking, it doesn't kill your brain cells - alcohol, etc, etc... Could these scientists ever come up with a plausible big bang? I don't think so, but it works for them like smokes, alcohol and pokies do for addicts, ignorance is bliss.
I have to admit i'm having a problem coming to terms with how mad the people in this world really are. For example Cambodia
The UN has forced war crimes courts in Cambodia; the Cambodians did not want that occur, Cambodia is a Buddhist country it is not muslin or christian who are constantly using there self righteous crap in judging the karmas of others, Pal Pot events in Cambodia occurred in Interdependence to events flowing in from Vietnam. Cambodia was bombed by American inspired SETO forces propping up an attempt to force Catholic teachings on Buddhist Vietnam the SETO forces ran-away and left the Chinese to run amok. To blame those having the karmas in all of that is stupidity, not Buddhism
