What Norwood Do You Guys Think I Am

What's up guys, new to the site, I am 23 and been dealing with hair loss for a while, recently started rogaine once a day because I noticed significant temple recession (mainly or the right, my left is not as bad) and grew a bit of thin hair back on my right temple back. I first noticed signs that I might be balding at 17 but I never really worried about it that much because I don't notice any hair falling out or anything just some minor thinning, but it recently got bad about a year ago. I smoked a lot for for 3 months, cigarretes and weed, got inflammation in my temples as a result, started to itch bad and loss a lot of hair in my temples. Recently decided to limit smoking a lot more and it's gotten a lot better. That's my story so far, what norwood would you say I am? Is rogaine enough of a treatment, or should I start taking some other stuff incase my sh*t gets a lot worse?

also do you guys think if I bleach my hair but it does not touch the scalp or is close to my scalp (bleach the top half of my hair) then it wouldn't affect my hair growth since the bleach does not touch my hair follicle and only the hair that will be cut/fall out anyway? Or will it somehow affect the bottom half of the hair somehow
