The effects of smoking can show up in ways you may not expect.
Although the mustache on the women in this picture is obviously fake, what we are about to tell you isn’t.
The Medical College of Wisconsin has reported a link between smoking and increased facial hair in some women.
Women who smoke at least one pack of cigarettes a day have a fifty percent greater chance of growing more facial hair.
This study at the Medical College of Wisconsin has found increased facial hair in women apparently has something to do with the effects of smoking on the ovaries and the production of hormones.
So if you are a women smoker and find you are growing more facial hair as you age you could be adversely effecting your hormonal balance due to the risks of ingesting the chemicals in cigarettes.

Well that’s interesting. Smoking increases testosterone in females, but decreases it in males.
