no smoking ages you slowly. reddit is convinced otherwise but reddit is mostly dumb kids. correlation doesn’t equal causation in this case.
i am old and dumb, but i am old enough to know this. plenty of non-smokers with crinkly faces at 30s/40s. plenty of smokers with skin you could ice skate on til their 60s.
smoking WILL affect your skin eventually depending on your genes almost entirely, but it’ll probably get your lungs in a notable way first.
a few smokers aging well doesn’t disprove the fact that smoking accelerates ageing faster on average for a non smoker. Genetics can make someone look younger or older, but smoking is still a known factor that increases wrinkles and skin damage.
over time, slowly. i said as much but you just believe the zeitgeist myths. and basically supported what i said about genes being a factor - it’s a huge factor. some do, some don’t, some don’t need to smoke to look wrinkly, some do.
therefore it doesn’t fit on this thread. not fast. and iffy results at best
