      That after picture is ridiculous! I know lots of people who routinely drink at least two drinks a night and haven't developed rosacea.

      I call bullcrap on this story. How about showing what 10 years of TANNING will do to skin??? I smoked for 10 years, I am 30 years old and get mistaken for being 20. Genetics play a large role in how someone ages, some things will make it go faster but I can guarantee that tanning will age someone faster than smoking! And if you exercise and take care of yourself physically, the junk food won't hurt you like the pic she posted.

      I call B/S. You cannot say for any amount of certainty that these actions would get these results.

      I am 70 years young and have no idea how many people say they cannot believe I am anywhere near that age. I drink 2 mixed drinks a night and smoke one pack of cigarettes a day and have for 50+ years so I do not believe your article is fully accurate. It depends more upon genes than lifestyle.

      I drank heavily for the past 20 years.I will define heavy where I am concerned: 2 or more boxes of wine a week, 2 large bottles of wine every other day, 1 bottle of vodka a day and eventually nearly 2. The vodka was the final straw. I went through treatment, had a relapse or 2, BUT the bottom line is that I lost over 20 pounds and look and feel terrifice. I have been sober for sometime, not perfectly but don't drink every day or every week. I am 49 and people think I am in my late 30s or early 40's. Drinking definetly makes you look older and heavier. Good luck to those trying to quit. Stay with it. It's worth your mental health, physical health and appearance.

      Jennifer Lopez has a very strict diet and exercises often. J-Lo is 42 and she looks great. Ask her for advice on how to look great over 40.

      This is a bunch of crap... my mom has been smoking for 40 years and she doesn't look like that at all... and she drinks wine or beer every night. Sorry, it's all in the genes, only 20% is affected by your lifestyle.

      i'm sorry but i doubt your mom looks *good*. i've never seen a smoker with beautiful skin. they age way before their time because of all the puffing. it causes wrinkles. also according to doctor's, women should only have TWO alcohol drinks a week!! that should be your limit, no more than that. personally i feel smoking and tanning are the two worst things for your skin. avoid those and you will look young. i have never smoke and i do not drink either. i'm 51 yet most people who do not know me think i'm in my late 30's. oh and i do avoid the sun like the plague and use sunscreen.

      WHERE IS THE REST OF THE STUDY? Are there comparison's to people that havent smoked in ten years? Or for myself, I quit smoking now, take a picture.
    • E.T.  •  7 months ago
      I just scarfed down a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos and a large peanut butter and chocolate rice crispy bar.

      THIS article is why I need to change my lifestyle and my health.

      I'm scared straight.

      meh don't forget to mention the benefits of red wine. Now, if this had said she was drinking 2 drinks of hard liquor every day, i could believe it. But wine? No way in hell. Anyway, drinking lots of water and otherwise taking care of your skin would keep it looking amazing. Can't speak to the smoking a pack a day thing, I don't smoke.

      I really want to get to a point that I drink juices with less sugar and eat healthy foods like salads and drink plenty of water. Try to stay fit as I can so in many years to come I don't have to look like a couch potato or someone's baggy old lady. I want to stay fit and healthy as possible.

      silly silly dumb dumb... that is what this article is... i smoked for 25 years... i still get carded to buy booze... people tell me i look like i am 25... closer to 45 people... come on ! this article is garbage... i smoked 1.5 packs per day while drinking 12 or more drinks per day for 15 years straight... and i am probably more healthy than 75% of those reading this article... bazingaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !

      and what?? you're proud of being a stupid idiot? you probably have lung cancer already or emphysema!! and i seriously doubt you look *young*. smoking is a disgusting, filthy habit. you probably have yellow fingers and yellow teeth and your voice is probably deep and raspy. oh and you probably reek of disgusting smoke. it's also terrible for the skin and smokers get wrinkles around their eyes and especially around the lips and mouth area. yeah i guess we should all smoke and die of lung cancer.
