    Your wife is right.

    Most of the signs of aging are really just the cumulative effects of repeated skin damage, and the two most common causes of that damage are sun exposure and smoking.

      Also not giving a fuck about the world around you. Climate change? Guess I’ll drink more water if it gets hot. War? Nice, I get to pick new recipes depending on what the grocers has available. Famine? Yay, I get to make more friends with the refugees.

      I was just talking about this in another thread!

      I avoid the sun at all costs but my slightly older sister used to burn on purpose to get a tan every summer. I don’t smoke, she does. She has a lot of very deep wrinkles- I have none.

      Worlds of difference.
