Can vaping make you younger?

[Bobsbeer]

I am not a scientist, but read THIS article which got me thinking.  We all know that smoking makes us age faster, or at least promote wrinkles in many of us.    Glycerine has been found to switch back on some cells, reversing the aging process.  We consume loads of glycerine as we vape.  So if I continue to vape, it looks like I'll be getting loads of cards from Her and His Majesty's.

Only if you add whisky

Glycine...which I never heard of. No surprise.

The aging process is influenced by too many variables IMO...I defo got all the wrong ones I think?

Yep, I am 56 and look at my Avatar

That's the problem yahoo2u2. If I keep going I'll get refused a drink in the pub, and that would never do.

A bit like that Brad Pitt film Benjamin button I think

Haven't you ever noticed that someone who switches from smoking to vaping has a ' fresher ' complexion - because I have.

Along with a less gravelly voice . . . . nothing to do with glycerine, but rather more related to improved circulation around the bod- thanks to the lack of toxins from cigarettes.

There's a woman at work who switched to vaping a few months back with a very basic set up ( by forum standards ) and it's literally taken years off her.

I guess our nearest and dearest might make the same observation about us . . . .

Vaping and not smoking stinkies has done so much for me in so many ways I'd need 1TB of webspace just to tell you all

I noticed this with a friend who started vaping at Christmas (She said she would never vape LOL) and after 2 months she looked like she'd had a makeover. Basic set up again but I didn't need to add to that. She was affording her basic set up and saving pennies in the process. I left her to it and just told her not to buy Chanel in a hurry as she might hate it by next Chrimbo LOL due to smell coming back LOL

Only way you can 'improve' skin from vaping is vaping and basis skin care - vitamins, and face creams (cheap ones note) and improved self care ...

It really is a simple prescription

No, half the planet won't recognise you after a few months but still

It hasn't made my duff knee any younger

My face is getting younger, bloody acne is coming back. Spotting grey hairs at 24 isn't good though. I have a feeling poor diet and alcohol consumtion is combatting any positive effects of vg though lol

I look great for 84
