Why determine whether a person smokes or not? There are many reasons. First of all, it makes it possible to stop in time his self-affirming child with the help of cigarettes. But not only. For example, the ability to identify a smoker in a crowd can be useful for those who smoke themselves but are currently without cigarettes. And this ability will also help you stay away from nicotine addicts. After all, you can never guess at what moment he wants to poison you with poisonous smoke.
Instructions
Step 1
Look closely at the face of the person you suspect is smoking. Nicotine has the most detrimental effect on the appearance, reducing the elasticity of the skin, dehydrating it, forcing every cell to experience oxygen starvation. There is even a term “smoker's face”. Early aging is characteristic of nicotine addicts. Smokers' faces are usually flabby, have an unpleasant and unhealthy earthy color, deep nasolabial folds, sunken cheeks. The very skin of the face is dry and resembles parchment. At the outer corners of the eyes, the first "crow's feet" are formed early, and the areas around the eyes acquire a painful stale appearance, uncharacteristic - a yellowish, bluish, brown or even purple hue.
Step 2
Take a look at the hands of the alleged smoker. The nails, the tips of the index and middle fingers, with which he usually holds the cigarette, will be yellowed, and the skin on them will be thick and rough.
Step 3
Pay attention to the person's clothing. Sometimes on a jacket, raincoat or coat, you can see burn marks, burned spots - the result of careless handling of a cigarette or hot ash accidentally falling on the fabric.
Step 4
Sniff. No matter how carefully a smoker disguises his habit with chewing gum, deodorants, breath fresheners and perfumes, these tricks are useless at best. An incomparable amber always hovers around the smoker. His outer clothing smells like (it is impossible to wash it every day) - especially the cuffs, the hair "smells" and, of course, the breath "fills" with tobacco.
