[funtimestinto]

Hi all,

I just have a quick question.

I have heard that smoking cigarettes makes hair loss worse, is this true or nothing to think about ?

thanks

I have never smoked a day in my life and I'm close to NW2.

...Half the time I think this was some wacko theory created by people who think smoking is the worst thing in our society.

But smoking is said to slightly raise testosterone levels, So maybe if you smoked like, 100 smokes a day it might effect someone who is really really sensitive to DHT, although if your smoking 4 packs a day I imagine you have bigger problems then hairloss.

hey,

thanks Eureka and shawn for answering. I agree I thought it was a load of BS but was not sure. I smoke like 10 ciggs a day, not anywhere close to 4 packs

Smoking lowers testosterone as does drinking.

smoking does make you look cool so if you are losing hair then it could be a good way of taking the focus way from your shiny noggin and give you a mean and mysterious look.

especially if you smoke a pipe youll like a private eye

Seriously..I was sure substances in cigarettes raised it...

No cigarettes, weed, booze all the good stuff they all screw with your bodys production of testosterone, ask any bodybuilder they'll tell you the same. Maybe thats why addicts always seem to have great hair. :dunno:
