Study Finds Link Between Smoking and Hair Loss

Posted Aug 29 2009 8:42am
Hair loss among the smokers increased with increasing smoking.

As if there aren't enough reasons to stop smoking a study was released last year that links smoking and hair loss. A report in the BMJ looked at more than 600 men and women, half of them smokers. Researchers found a significant and consistent link between smoking and early graying. Another group studied the link in a group of 740 men and found a greater rate of hair loss among the smokers, one that grew with increasing smoking.

Chantix addiction treatment has proven to help people quit smoking with a steady step by step approach. In studies, 44% of Chantix quit smoking during weeks 9 to 12 of treatment.

Propecia baldness treatment maintains hair in 83% of men in a two year clinical trial for those who took 1mg daily.
