"Cigarette skin" is defined as pale, grayish and wrinkled. One study found 79% of smokers had cigarette skin especially in the cheek and eye area.
The occurrence of prominent wrinkling is as common among women 40 to 49 years as among women nonsmokers 20 years older. A lifetime of smoking will age a woman's appearance 20 or so years.
