right?
my husband has always said that stone looks like an accountant. :P
now, i did think stone looked damn fuckin' sexy in the oceans video....ooohhhhh myyyy. but yea, overall....no fires here either. but mmmmmmmm, YES...in philly.....up close........well stone, idk if you are eating your wheaties or what, but keep doin' whatever it is you're doin'.

to me, all the boys look GREAT. however, i am also 41 ow (just!) and while i like to think i am aging well, i do also realize...yea...i'm aging. we all are. and i think they all just look fantastic. no, they don't look 20 anymore. not evern 30. they look like they are in their 40s, but they look FANTASTIC in their 40s. nothing wrong with 'looking your age'...as long as you are rockin' your age for all you've got. i'm sick of people trying to 'hold on' too tight to an age they have long since passed. enjoy NOW. makes much more sense to live in the present tense.

maybe in fairy land...but down here on earth...smoking ages your skin...big fucking time!!!

SMOKING FACT #1
Smoking causes the skin to age prematurely and fine lines and wrinkles to develop. Why?

Smokers tend to pucker their mouth when they puff on their cigarette. The constant contractions of the muscles around the area of the mouth cause wrinkles to develop around the mouth.

SMOKING FACT #2
This is another reason why smokers tend to develop fine lines and wrinkles. Smokers tend to close their eyes tight to avoid cigarette smoke in their eyes. Wrinkles may also develop around the eyes.

SMOKING FACT #3
Smoking causes the carbon monoxide levels in the blood to increase. This promotes the formation of age-inducing free radicals.

SMOKING FACT #4
Nicotine has adrenaline-like effects. It causes blood vessels to constrict. That reduces oxygen supply to the tissues. Heavy smokers have an almost five-fold increased risk of wrinkles compared to those who don’t.

SMOKING FACT #5
Smoking also delays wound healing. In a study of 120 women undergoing laparotomy (exploratory surgery), women who smoked had poorer scars compared to non-smokers.

SMOKING FACT #6
Smoking causes many health problems, some of which are serious and life threatening. Smoking has been known to cause lung cancer.

SMOKING FACT #7
Smoking also depletes the body’s stores of Vitamin C. In one study, smokers with similar intake of Vitamin C had consistently lower blood Vitamin C levels compared to non-smokers. Vitamin C is involved in the synthesis of collagen and is a powerful anti-oxidant in itself.

SUMMARY OF SMOKING FACTS
In summary the effects of smoking on the skin are:


Reduces blood flow to the skin

Causes the skin to look dry and sallow

Encourages wrinkles to develop around the mouth and “crow’s feet” around the eye

Stains the skin and teeth

Causes the stale tobacco smell

Causes the premature skin ageing and wrinkling

Delays wound healing

The following are the effects of smoking on the face:


Puckered mouth from smoking action

Wrinkles around the eyes due to squinting to avoid the smoke

Pale complexion due to nicotine constricting blood vessels

Thinned, sagging wrinkled skin due to loss of collagen from free radical damage

Smoking is a very addictive habit that causes a lot of harm to the body.

I don't really get the whole lot older thing- everybody gets/looks older- no way around it and hopefully there won't be any procedures to try to hide their age cause that just makes a person look plastic and fake. An older face is more beautiful anyways with years of smiles and frowns and the wisdom in ones eyes that almost creates a twinkle. Also a comfortable, friendly, secure attitude that comes with age. People really learn to love themselves and it shows. I would hope people would just enjoy PJ for the great band they are and not point out flaws or wish them something different- we never know how long we have them. Then we will miss them.

dismiss your class all you like
ive been smoking for 14 years now
i still get checked for id

OH YEAH
the legal age in west australia is 18...

so you can take all your medical facts and do what you like with them
not everything is applicable to everyone

missisles

the thing that baffles me the most about this is the fact that his aging MUST be because he smokes
not because its 12 years old..
lord forbid someone ages

michelleelise

OMG, this is the best looking band on the planet


I don't get all the comments this year, I think Ed looks great. More importantly, I saw him up close at a couple of solo shows and I think he looks a lot happier than he used to, which is so much more important.

But.... speaking of SVT, I was just watching it a couple weeks ago and could not believe how different Mike looks! He looks younger today than he did twelve years ago! I know he might have been sick back then, but anyway, keep up the good work, Mike

yes
thats exactly what i said
im immune to the universe and her wileways
im just saying not everything is so black and white 100% of the time

the guy is 45 years old for gods sake
do you really expect him to look the same at 45 with 2 kids as he did at 33 with no kids

think about whats being said
im fairly sure if ed had found the fountain of youth hed have shared the info with others
fact is
as years go by... hes gonna get older

i cant wait to see the outrage in another 12 years time when people are making comparison

itll defs be caused he smokes, not cause hell be 57

agreed!
i think they ALL do - and you can't bottle that good stuff!
yes, age, drinking, smoking, sun....ALL take their toll, but none the less....ed is still mighty fine lookin' and they all look great. i think that happiness has a LOT to do with it. 'happy ed' is a beautiful thing. love tends to do that to a person.

i never said he should look younger...what i did say is that smoking ages your skin and Ed smokes...all 100% fact!!

i think Ed looks good...and if he shaved he def would look younger.

You are simply beautiful

according to our computer ageing programme, ed should look..........



........about 12 years older.





he's probably got less wrinkles than i have and the little blighter has a good 16 years on me.
