How Does Smoking Affect Under Eye Bags and Dark Circles?

Smoking, a habit fraught with a multitude of adverse health effects, significantly impacts the appearance of under-eye bags and may cause dark circles, primarily through its detrimental effects on various bodily systems.

Impacts on this system, hydration levels, or immune response can affect the under-eye shape and crease. Common lifestyle changes affecting under-eye shape and creasing include: Diet and Nutrition: Excessive salt intake can affect body hydration and increase puffiness.
