Gen Z’s love for vaping could be the reason they’re ‘aging like milk’: docs

E-cigarettes are leading to premature skin aging in Gen Z due to nicotine's effects on skin elasticity. The rise in vaping among young adults has negative consequences on skin health, causing acne and inflammation. Chronic exposure to toxic chemicals triggers skin conditions like psoriasis, while nicotine usage damages skin cells and collagen, leading to wrinkles and sagging. The heat from vaping devices further dehydrates the skin, accelerating the aging process. Combined with sunlight exposure, vaping restricts blood flow needed for skin cell repair. Dermatologists warn of long-term skin damage from vaping and cigarettes among young adults.
