I seen some horrible pictures of people who smoke. They often look 30 or more years older than a healthy non smoker the same age. Is it only from nicotine or is it the rest of those toxic chemicals that cigarettes have giving such a disgusting appearance?
Do E-Cigs make you look old and ugly just like analogs would?

I would bank on it is the chaotic mix of toxic chemicals that gives you that fancy old look. Your body is being torn down and has to filter out all that crap so I imagine that is where the "aging" look comes from. Just wearing your body out.
I smoked for over 20 years and I guess I am more fortunate. That pic on my Avatar is me and the cat I rescued when he was just a kitten of 5 weeks (in the pic he's 1 year, named Gizmo) I don't think I look old there even with my beard, but I *KNOW* when I shave I look like a damn teen still
So I guess the take away is not everyone is affected quite the same. Either that or I have a jaded view of my face Either way. I love my Gizmo

Not that leatherface was that bad as I'm only 34 but I've definitely noticed an improvement in my facial skin and my mustache actually gets a little more wild and needs a bit more care since it's no longer full of tar ^_^
It also depends on how ugly one was before smoking, I'm just sayin' lol
I think the carbon monoxide is a big culprit, plus all the other toxic ctap in cigarettes.
Also -- vertical wrinkles on the lips, from cigarettes. All that "puckering up" to take a drag. I've watched myself vape in the mirror, and my mouth doesn't pucker up so much on a driptip, as it did on a cigarette, but the damage is already done, I'm stuck with those vertical wrinkles now.

Well, I checked several times from different angles and I look just as old and ugly whether I am holding my e-cig or not. But I do think it makes me look taller and thinner!
Something to consider: nowadays the whole concept of aging is treated like a dirty word, but the fact is, it's inescapable -- human bodies are not meant to be immortal, and after 50-60 yrs, they show their age. Best to simply accept it, than drive yourself crazy trying to look 40 yrs younger than you truly are -- those wrinkles are EARNED.

Just calling BS on this one........................Seen some pretty scary Non-smoking people in my life. Age can be a cruel animal and DNA doesn't help matters.
Don't blame ugly on the cigarettes.
And no, smoking or vaping doesn't make you look old.( smoking can however keep you from making it to "old").
Genetics play a heavy part, overall lifestyle adds to the equation.
Smoking doesn't help, but it's not the cause of ugly or old.

Most of those horrible pictures you see of people who smoke are the worst of the worst ones they could find to show you what smoking will do to you. Most of them probably are drinking themselves to death also. But they fail to mention that.
I was old and ugly when I started vaping and I haven't got any younger or better looking so it must be true.
Pretty sure I'm looking better than I ever did atm, As the years go by I fully expect to be devastatingly handsome at 85.

No,
They make you look cool and hip. A forward thinker. Someone that can think outside the box and appreciates technology. Someone that can discern truth from the BS.

I avoid mirrors... no idea if Im old... I feel old tho..
Every morning when I walk into my bathroom, I say "oh hey Flossie," because I could swear it's my grandmother in that mirror.
When I was born, my mom cried because she said "she looks just like my mother!" and the older I get, the MORE I look like her.
