I've been smoking for 16 or so years, and my lips aren't abnormally dark, nor do I notice this on other people I know who have been smoking for many years. It could be the tobacco or any of a number of other additives in the tobacco, that doesn't exist here in the US. Perhaps its some type of allergic reaction. But then I'd expect it to have gone away. Maybe you just have funny lips, Rohit! ;P BW "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts." - Bertrand Russell

This is why people (mom and dad) started asking me if I have started smoking, because of the colour of my lips. It's not just me. I think it's because of some additives in the tobacco, as you said.

But if there is a chance of starting again even after a whole year, I had better be careful. brianwelsch wrote: Congrats on your success with quitting though. Thanks. So far it's a success, but after I read what you said above, I am not sure if it really is a success. I guess you never get out of some habits.

Yes, yes, whatever it is, it's not betel leaves. Indians chew betel leaves a lot, and the "dye" is actually red and goes away easily after you wash your mouth.

- Mother Teresa:-D Just yanking your chain... I've been smoking for 30+ years, and whatever else it's done to me darkening the lips is not among them. If it really concerns you, I'd recommend mentioning it to your doctor. There could be some circulatory things going on there if it's not just a natural effect of growing older. Having read a bit about betel leaves, I wonder if it will grow here in the desert? I think it might be a dandy cash crop without making the cops curious!:-D "Please don't put cigarette butts in the urinal.

Yes, I think I'll talk to my doctor about it after all. He might be able to come up with something better than programmers. :laugh: I don't know how betel leaves are grown so I can't say anything about that. You could give it a try though. :-D

...you quit smoking? I used to smoke a lot earlier. But I have quit since the past several months. But in my days as a smoker, my lips turned purple. After so many months, they are still the same colour. Will they ever become pink again? Or am I now doomed for ever? Is there anything I can do about it? Does anyone have this kind of experience? Or should I go see a specialist about it? Should I trust this issue to a nutcase who chose to specialise in improving the lip colour of ex-smokers as his career?

There seem to be services about that offer lip bleaching, however it occurs to me they *may* actually mean the hair above the lips get bleached. Something you might also try would be leeches... I have no idea whether this would work or not, but walking around with leeches hanging from your mouth sounds like a good time, so you may wanna just give it a try.

Smitha Vijayan thinks the reasons could be: (1) The not so good quality of tobacoo in the cigarettes here (2) The cigarettes here as far as I know are not the lighter ones like most foreign brands I think both the reasons apply here. In India we get the most raw, underprocessed, macho version of the tobacco. :cool: Unlike the processed, lite/mild, sissy thing that they get over there and call tobacco.

Shog9 wrote: Something you might also try would be leeches Um, let's keep it polite and just say that I don't like suckers. ;P Yeah, and I think earrings pierced through the lips might be helpful too, as they do in African tribes. That'll take their attention away from the colour, certainly, as they will go OH MY GAAAAWD!!!

Mother Teresa was a smart woman, she knew sex existed. She may have chosen not to engage in it for whatever reasons, but I doubt she saw it as a sin either 3. Nobody, and I mean nobody, is exempt from having a bit of stick with. From what I have read Mother Teresa was actually quite a funny old bird, up for a bit of a joke and some laughing (completely neccesary IMO considering the places she visited.) She probably gave as well as she recieved. :) So it was no disrespect to her, just ribing the old bird.
