22 Jun 01 - 01:51 PM (#489832) Subject: RE: Smoking makes you wrinkled From: Amos A rigorous, scientific and statistically unassailable study will prove conclusively that completing sexual liaisons makes men wrinkled, at least in certain key areas. All you have to do is define your time-window of interest with sufficient rigor and you can prove 'most any old thing. Speaking of any old thing, how's Spaw? It is also true that being born can be proven to cause wrinkles due to the delta in distribution of fluid in the ambient spatial envelope usually observed during the state transition. A |

22 Jun 01 - 06:49 PM (#490042) Subject: RE: Smoking makes you wrinkled From: Little Hawk I wonder if they used Joni Mitchell as a test subject... Smoking unquestionably ages people's skin, particularly their face and neck. Unfortunately, so do a whole whack of other things, so us non-smokers tend to get wrinkled too, as time goes by. - LH |

22 Jun 01 - 07:35 PM (#490077) Subject: RE: Smoking makes you wrinkled From: Helen I saw a tv programme, many years ago, and they showed twin women, aged in late 40's or early 50's. One smoked and the other didn't. The smoker had lots of fine wrinkles all over her face and the non-smoker didn't - her skin was smooth and fine. There may have been other causes, but as I recall, the programme stated that in almost every other respect their health and lifestyle was almost the same. Ever since I have observed women who smoke a lot and noticed that more often than not they have those fine wrinkles, and I have especially noticed them around the mouth - lots of little vertical lines. Women who have spent a lot of time in the sun, i.e. sun tanning, seem to be affected worse, in my unscientific, although reasonably long term observations.

23 Jun 01 - 12:45 AM (#490186) Subject: RE: Smoking makes you wrinkled From: Amos It depends on the area receiving the effect (direct or indirect) of the stroking; oftyen, in males, the cuve appears to be that stroking removes wrinkles up to a point, and if continued past that point tends to cause wrinkles to return. Interesting, huh? Isn't science fun? I am looking for experimenteers to help me work out a reliable data set on this one.... A |
