Queen's Leave The Pack Behind

Hi everyone! Thanks for supporting LTPB this past year. We have currenty wrapped up our programming for the summer. Please look for us on campus again in the fall, where you can come talk to us about all of your smoking and tobacco concerns.

Advice from Don Diebel, dating expert at “getgirls.com”

Please follow these rules [if you’re a smoker]

1. Most people are very turned off by smokers breath. You may not notice your breath because you are used to smoking, but to people who don’t smoke find it offensive. Also, they may refuse to kiss you because of your smokers breath.
2. Never assume that it’s ok to light up a cigarette in front of your date. Always ask their permission first. They may not want you to smoke at all and may be very offended if you light up without asking them first.
3. If you do light up, whatever you do, don’t blow smoke in their direction. And even worse, don’t light up a cigar on your date. The odor is offensive to others as well as your date.
4. Do you smoke a lot in your apartment or house? If you do it leaves an odor offensive to people who don’t smoke on your upholstery, curtains, carpet, furniture, etc.

If you don’t smoke you can get more dates, because some single women refuse to date smokers.

‘It may be hard, but the best thing you can do for a beautiful, glowing complexion is to stop smoking. Smoking both dehydrates and deprives your skin of oxygen, so you will see real benefits – skin will become smoother and more radiant.’ Sarah Monzani, make-up artist to Madonna

According to Dr. Nicholas Perricone, dermatologist and author of The Perricone Prescription (HarperCollins), the effects of smoking in terms of aging are significant. When we inhale just one puff of cigarette smoke, more than a trillion free radicals are produced in our lungs, which then trigger an inflammatory response that circulates throughout the body. And if that wasn’t enough to persuade you to kick the habit, in 1985 the term ’smoker’s face’ was added to the medical dictionary.

The characteristics of a smoker’s face, which tends to make people look older than they are, was defined as the following:

• Lines or wrinkles on the face, particularly radiating at right angles from the upper and lower lips or corners of the eyes
• deep lines on the cheeks or numerous shallow lines on the cheeks and lower jaw.
• A subtle gauntness of the features, with prominence of the underlying bony contours.
• A grey skin palour.
