[Augentrost]

actually, i don't think smoking would have "that" much of an effect and not that fast...i'm a smoker and i don't have thin skin, the nicotine gives me clogged pores and makes the skin look tired, one cigarrette a day would have hardly any effect on anything. i got a Lot of stretch marks during my pregnancies, and for the record i quit smoking twice, once for two years and once for three, i noticed no change in them during either time.

stretch marks are scarred skin, and rarely go away completely. (they go silvery white) if the quality of your skin is important, then i suggest taking placenta / collagen / hyaluronic acid supplements for it...that way if you do get growth, your skin will be able to deal with it.
