Myth - I want to quit but smoking keeps me thin
Fact or Myth
Busted:
Exercise and diet keep you thin, not smoking.
FACT: Smoking can actually cause cellulite*. By constricting your capillaries and damaging the connective tissue, cigarettes weaken your skin which causes the dimpling effect of cellulite.
Some people believe that smoking keeps them slim because when they try to quit they replace cigarettes with unhealthy snacks and sit around the house like a couch potato. But if you plan for this in advance, you can develop a training program, concentrate on being active with friends and eating healthy snacks such as fruit, vegetables and low fat dairy products while you’re quitting.
