1 in 12 Women Quit on No Smoking Day
No Smoking Day takes place on Wednesday 10th March 2010 and the charity is encouraging women who smoke to break free from the chains of their addiction and take control of their health and looks.
One in 12 females in the UK kicked the habit on No Smoking Day in 2009, that's an impressive 366,000 women who took the first step to a healthier life. And now No Smoking Day is hoping that the remaining 4 million female smokers in the UK will also be inspired to quit in 2010.
Here are some very good reasons why quitting smoking is one of the best beauty treatments a female smoker could give herself:
SKIN Smoking ages and dulls your skin by 10 years, giving you wrinkles. It can also treble your chances of developing psoriasis, a chronic skin condition.
YOUR WAIST Smoking makes you store weight around your waist, and nobody finds a 'muffin top' attractive. It also increases your risk of cellulite.
YOUR TEETH The nicotine ends up staining your teeth yellow and puts you in line for gum disease and tooth loss. So you've really nothing to smile about.
YOUR HAIR Smoking starves your hair of oxygen, making it lifeless and brittle.
YOUR SMELL And smoking also leaves a stink on your breath, hair and clothes which is really hard to get rid of.
YOUR PURSE Giving up 20-a-day is like a £42 a week pay rise! In six months you could save around £1092 - just imagine the upgraded flight, accommodation or additions to your holiday wardrobe with that extra cash!
