Website compares a non smokers body vs smokers body

Great visual website showing the difference between the two;

'Crystal meth body' was the first reaction when I saw their faces

I always hated these deceptive anti-smoking advertisements...the photos comparisons are more like comparing a super healthy lifestyle person (e.g. clean diet and regular exercise) vs a drug addict...

I quit smoking 5+ years ago...i am sure my health has gotten better and my lung is cleaner, but my skin and my body didn't look any better after I quit...
And I sure as hell don't think smoking itself will make you look as awful as the website portrays...

No, probably not day for day as portrayed on that site, but make them 65, and for hell yeah there is a difference.

It's tough watching tv shows like Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire or Asian gangster movies though, everyone's smoking. =S

Occasionally I'll get that craving for one.

I found the difference this time was definitely wanting to eliminate smoking from my life. There was no pining over the last one, or romanticizing the idea of smoking.

Now I watch people smoke and judge. It looks like absolute trash and it smells horrible.

Wish I had never started.

Congrats and good luck to those trying to quit.

Smoking is a selfish, filthy, disgusting addiction. I have no idea why people continue smoking when they know how harmful it is.

There doesn't seem to be any scientific basis for this site..it's just a dramatization. With that said, yes, everyone already knows smoking is harmful.

actually, when a couple of my friends went from smoking to using vape, the FIRST thing I noticed was a significant improvement in their skin tone.

Those vape sticks felt like they were putting water in my lungs after a couple months. Champix worked wonders for me a few years ago but after 1 year I started smoking when I drank and well, you know the rest. Since I'm not getting any younger I think I'll give it another try.

You can do it, dude! Never give up

I found having the Cessation Nation App (https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...onnation&hl=en) to be a cool way of tracking my progress. Motivated me to keep going.

The people that surprise me the most who smoke are gym fanatics and of course, doctors.
