Can Smoking Cause Hair Loss?
Hi doctor, I wrote you several weeks ago regarding to my frontal hair line which has some reseccion. I am 28 years old and last six months I have started to seeing my front hair line slowly thinning, and slowly receiving. I am between type 1 and type 2 pattern right now and I have seen change in 6 months even in 1 months.I have been seen a doctor for it. My family ,(my uncle , my father ) have all type 3A. And they have very thick hair. I have been using propecia for 3 months. It is not working for now. I was wondering would that be wise to see you to get an better to where I am and where it is going.Or it is too early to tell. All I am try to stop it before it gets worse. It is looking fine now, bad if it goes like this it may not look fine. And also smoking and sun seems to have bad effect on my hair loss .I am not smoker but I smoke once every two months for fun.Is it common that smoking effects hair loss? Thanks for your time.And also what is the chances that propecia can stop hair reseccion in frontal hair line?
If you are a Norwood Class 1-2, this is not balding, but maturation of a hair line. If your family line is 3A, then that is possibly where you may go with time. Propecia works well to retard the progression of these changes so you should consider this drug.
With regard to your question about smoking, I would doubt a direct cause and effect here. Smoking causes constriction of blood vessels and decreased blood flow to the scalp, predominantly due to its nicotine content. The carbon monoxide in smoke decreases the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood. These factors may contribute to poor wound healing after a hair transplant and can increase the chance of a wound infection and scarring. Smoking may also contribute to poor hair growth of transplanted hair. While I certainly do not encourage or condone smoking, I do not think that an occasional cigarette every two months will be a deciding factor in your hair loss.
hello doctor. My name is kyle, I am 23 and have noticed male pattern baldness starting to set in, almost the horse shoe type. My grandfather didnt start to lose his hair untill he was about 40 and both my brother and father have receiving hair lines but full heads of hair as well. I was smoking a pack a day and am wondering if they may be the cause. Any tips or suggestions to my problems? I feel that if am to go bald at my age, I will fall into a deep depression and suffer. I cant see myself coping with baldness and dealing with it in life like most men do. Thank you doctor
IS THERE ANY CURE FOR BLADNESS DUE TO SMOKING CAN ALL THESE HAIRS WHICH I LOSS REGROW
From my personal experience, SMOKING INCREASES HAIRLOSS.
CAFFEINE when consumed in coffee also increases hair loss.
These things I have noticed myself over the past 10 years through altering my diet and I take it for granted.

Smoking can CAUSE balding, look around and you will see the pattern, no pun intended.
Smoking does not cause hair loss. Otherwise half the men AND women smokers would be bald. Use your brain to figure out and look for the real cause
I heard that smoking speeds up the baldness and makes you age quicker, im gonna quit smoking and see what happens.
