Answer #1
Yes, smoking could cause hair loss problems. Hair dermal papilla is affected due to smoking. In simple words, when a person smokes, his blood gets polluted with several chemicals that could block the flow of nutrients required by the hair follicle that leads to hair loss or baldness.
I would recommend you to stop smoking now as the effect of smoking might not just be restricted to hairloss but could eventually lead to other problems too. Hairloss is an indication that now it is time to stop smoking.
