People also smoke way less now. See the skin of someone at 30 who started smoking at 15, to see someone who looks like 40.

And everything around us smokes less too.

In 1950 cars had basically no emission standards, factories didn’t either, and a LOT of people heated their homes with coal or wood.

Specifically, top panel man is smoking, bottom panel isn’t. That’s why they look like that. Mystery solved.

It’s very much the smoking. That V Sauce video about it being clothing wasn’t convincing. Comparing just faces negates that possible perception issue. And when constrained to only faces people in the past still look older.

Hair styles also make a difference. And it’s all of the things, individually, that add up.

I believe it. I was buying smokes without an ID by the time I was 17.
