This is a lengthy post that will probably lead to more questions, but while most topics have been covered on this site over the years, one topic hasn’t had much attention until now. There is a field called epigenetics that addresses those heritable factors, other than our DNA, that impact how we express our genes. […]

There’s really no reason for your hair loss to continue because of your quitting smoking. To suggest that smoking cigarettes kept your hair loss at bay doesn’t make any sense. If you’re experiencing accelerated loss, I’d expect it to be likely just a coincidence to when you stopped smoking. Were the older minoxidil and new […]
I don’t have much to add to your comments, so I’ll just say that your statement alone expresses the unknowns and your observations stand on their own. Smoking is harmful in many ways.
Hair loss is complex. I wish I could just say that this is or is not the cause, but it isn’t that simple. Genetic hair loss has its own cycles and stress can precipitate it. If you found great stress from going off the pot, perhaps the stress induced genetic hair loss. I suggest that […]
We have known for some time that smoking reduces skin circulation, particularly in the scalp. These articles do connect the dots between smoking and acceleration of hair loss in those individuals who are genetically prone to it. Of interest, there is a clear suggestion in these reference articles to the original research, which show that […]
While smoking does not directly cause hair loss, it has been shown to reduce the circulation of the blood flow through the scalp. For past posts related to this, see: Smoking Cigarettes and Hair Loss If I Quit Smoking Will My Hair Regrow? Can Smoking Cause Hair Loss? Tobacco and Hair Loss
Minoxidil promotes hair growth. Drinking alcohol will promote intoxication and cause you to forget about your hair loss. Smoking pot will promote memory loss and cause you to forget to use minoxidil. Used in combination, there are no significant scientific basis for interaction.
I am not familiar with a proven connection between smoking, drinking alcohol, and hair loss. Your definition of “party” may include drugs, in which case hair loss could be a problem, though I hope this is not the case. Please note a previous post, Does Drinking Alcohol Contribute to Hair Loss?
Generally it is believed that damage from smoking is additive. We know that about the lungs, heart disease, and emphysema. We also know that for those that stop smoking, the additive impact does slow or stop, but the smoking-induced coronary disease or emphysema does not go away. Now if you extend that logic to hair […]
Medically speaking, smoking cigarettes (even the cannabis / marijuana kind) promotes poor wound healing by decreasing blood circulation. It may have an impact on your hair transplant, however, I do not know how much of an impact it will have. Exercises such as sit-ups that may have a potential to stretch the back of your […]
Some people have increased sensitivity after being injured, which can irritate certain nerves. As I’m sure you’re aware, Marijuana will alter a person’s state of mind and may enhance certain sensations while decreasing others. People experience different sensations in the scarred areas when a nerve is severed or injured. As to whether pot is causing […]
There are known effects on blood supply to the scalp and other areas of the body when one smokes. This may or may not contribute to hair loss. Many hair transplant surgeons warn patients that if they smoke, they run the risk of losing hair from a transplant or reducing the yield from a transplant. […]
If you are a Norwood Class 1-2, this is not balding, but
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jocd.13727 Results The majority of smokers (425) had a form of AGA, while only (200) nonsmokers had a degree of AGA (P < .01). Of the smokers group, 235 (47%) had grade III AGA and 120 subjects (24%) had grade IV AGA. In the nonsmokers group, 100 subjects (20%) had grade II AGA and 50 subjects (10%) […]
