Buy a cigarette holder.. Like they had back in the 60s, or quit smoking!! Try e-cigarettes I've been off tobacco over a year now I'm pleased to say :)

Hi there,
I would advise you to quit smoking. Applying a mixture of lime juice, honey and glycerin every day for several weeks may help. Rubbing almond oil also helps. Applying Vaseline or Shea butter each night is also effective to lighten dark lips. Maintain a healthy lifestyle by exercising regularly and consuming a balanced diet consisting of fruits and vegetables. Fresh fruits like oranges, guavas, strawberries, papaya, etc. contain a good amount of Vitamin C to lighten the skin. Drink  2-3 litres of water every day .This is merely an advice. For more queries and assistance visit a dermatologist. I hope it helps.
Best luck and regards!
