Smoking will make you strong and bald

[Guest]

according to a recent study by the Harvard School of Public Health, smoking can increase almost all the major androgenic hormones including DHEA, androstenedione, testosterone, and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). All potent androgens that impact muscle growth.

The study, which examined a cross-section of 1,241 randomly sampled middle-aged U.S. men, compared hormonal levels of nonsmokers and smokers. The study made sure that weight and age were not a factor in the study results.

According to the study, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) was 18% higher in smokers, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) was 13% higher in smokers, androstenedione was 33% higher in smokers, testosterone was 9% higher in smokers, and DHT was 13% higher in smokers.


But then again, maybe people who smoke have more testosterone to begin with because they are more assertive.

two of my friends smoke a pack a day and they got the thickest hair out of everyone I know.

DHT is definitely not used for muscle growth....

because they do not have the genetic predisposition to hair loss. if they had male pattern baldness, then it may affect them.

....hmmm, strong and bald - that could be me in 10 years... well, bald anyway *hehe*

It's not often you can find anything good about smoking (except of course, looking cool!) Is that as a result of the nicotine? ...or the other chemicals? ...or just the addiction as a whole?

I wonder if that would be a factor, given that it's a different sort of person that smokes. A lot of non-smokers I know are different by nature and personality than most of my friends, who are smokers.

Wow I need to be more assertive, I'm off to buy some cigs!

YeahButHesBack (Ronaldkia) you have suppassed yourself once again. :jackit:

Guys these are illogical assertions, someone needs the have the male pattern baldness genes for something to affect their hair.

Smoking cannabis (contrary to cigarettes) can have some benefits, however.

if you dont have male pattern baldness genes, you can do whatever you want and still be able to maintain a full head of hair. Something we envy for sure. lol

hmmm. sounds too good to be true!

i definitely think there is some correlation. i noticed that the more i was smoking, the more my hair thinned out. i also have noticed a majority of my friends who smoke have some sort of hair loss. I dont think smoking effects everyone's hair this way, but i see a high percentage of people who smoke ciggs/pot consistently having thin hair. good thing i quit recently.

What does that mean? I interpreted it as; "as time progressed, the more my hair thinned out". Well, of course! Or did you mean, you smoke 20 one day and you notice more hair in the shower the next morning than the other day; when you smoked 10 ??

 

[abcdefg]

Thats probably true. People with the genes and hair thats vulnerable might lose more hair from smoking.

 

[smartsang]

If you're smoking so much that it somehow stops your hairloss, well, then I think Hairloss should be the least of your worries! :freak:

you interpreted incorrectly. we're talking about the correlation of smoking and hair loss.

that means i have noticed more aggressive hair thinning amongst a high percentage of my peers who smoke. NOT ALL though. when i quit smoking for a year a while back i noticed i wasnt shedding as much. i think some people's hair is genetically more likely to be effected by their smoking which accelerates their otherwise predisposed rate of hair loss. bad hair sometimes is a result of bad health. thats my little theory about it from personal experience.

Check out Collin Farell's hairs who's a big smoker.

For the 100th time, people are suggesting that it only has a detrimental effect for those who carry genes which are susceptible to male pattern baldness.

So will about a million other things, this whole topic is pretty pointless really. :dunno:
