    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.

      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.
