Also, because of increased healthy lifestyle awareness, we are actually ageing slower than we used to. The clue is in the cigarette the top cartoon smokes. Today we smoke less, we exercise more, we use more sunscreen and we eat healthier, all allowing our bodies to produce more firm collagen in less damaged skin cells.

This. Remember the cool kids from high school smoking, drinking, taking drugs? Yeah they look like 50 in their 30s now.

But what if you found out the opposite? I did it all but cigarettes in HS and college and I look 10 years younger than my middle age, it's pretty sweet.

I’m also in the same boat as this, I think it really comes down to genetics plus health risk factors

I saw something speculating that Americans still age faster than other countries due to all the hormones they consume in animal products.

I saw something speculating jews shot space lasers to start forest fires. Luckily, I understand speculation isn't fact.
