Small Dots on Face

I'm 23, and I admit I smoke, and about 6 months ago I developed not only these bags under my eyes which you can see in the photo but also in the photo if you click on it and enlarge it you can see that on my cheek area there are all these small dots and imperfections, what product could I use and what could be the cause? I am in Italy by the way. Thanks x
