If you have been taking lung cancer as the only risk surrounding smokers then it won’t be wrong to say that you are a bit less informed about the risks that you puff in, every time you smoke.
Actually, a new study aimed at knowing risk factors, associated with cigarette smoking has revealed that smoking habit might add to your scalp’s visibility by speeding up the thinning process.
Findings of this study are based on an analysis of around 740 middle aged and older Asian men who were suffering a common kind of hair problem, generally known as androgenetic alopecia. During the course of study, experts admitted that no doubt, age is a major factor behind thinning of hair, still smoking contributes considerably. And this effect was more palpable in men smoking 20 or more cigarettes, daily.
The way smoking contributes to it, is still not very clear. However, experts opine that may be smoking increases the risk for hair loss by either destroying hair follicles or disturbing normal bodily functions, important for healthy hair.
This is not the first time when smoking has been linked to hair problems and it is quite understandable that when smoking can affect overall health drastically, so nothing strange if it affects hair-health too. Actually, when we smoke different kinds of gases and chemicals get into our mechanism, restricting the levels of oxygen and nutrients in our blood, which deeply affects entire mechanism, no matter it’s in the form of bad lung functioning or in the form of unhealthy skin or hair!
So choice is yours, whether you want big cloudy puffs or healthy and bouncy hair!
