ravaged

Usually occurring in women and sometimes in men, Ravaged is a condition that makes a man or women appear to be 10 or more years older then they actually are. The primary cause of this condition is chain-smoking cigarettes for any number of years. The person's appearance (usually in women) is characterized by premature wrinkles, dried skin, yellowing teeth and nails and a general look of bad health, as if stricken by a life draining plague. A Ravaged person is likely to light up within seconds if they're not already choking down a smoke. Ravaged people can often be witnessed huddled around an outdoor ashtray in sub-zero conditions, oblivious to the cold as they feed their addiction.
