Smoking Not Linked To Male Pattern Hair Loss

It is true that smoking can weaken your health overall...

We have just seen a story that links smoking to hair loss. Well, does smoking cause you to lose your hair or doesn’t it? In fact this sort of story that gets put on the internet linking hair loss to smoking is the sort of story that gets us all hot under the collar at Ukmedix News.
Yes we know cigarette smoking is bad for you, yes we know that they can initiate a host of different cancers, yes we know that people who smoke are more probable to suffer from erectile dysfunction BUT smoking will NOT accelerate the genetic process of androgenetic alopecia. People who suffer from male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) suffer from it irrespective of their health. It is not brought on by bad health and it will not go away if you are super healthy.

It is true that smoking can weaken your health overall but it is essential to remember that male pattern baldness is not connected to your health. If you were to get so ill and weak from smoking that your hair started to fall out the chances are that you would really not be breathing very well by that point.

This by no means it is OK for people who are suffering from male pattern baldness to carry on smoking because the deadly habit can cause you to look older and very tired and if you wish to keep your youthful looks you are not going to do yourself any favours by continuing to smoke.

Always remember that male pattern baldness is not affected by your diet your habits your lifestyle as it is a genetic condition that is activated by your DNA. The most effective drug to beat the effects of male pattern baldness is made by the drug company Merck and it is called Propecia. Propecia actually interrupts the genetic process of male pattern baldness by preventing the build up of dihydrotestosterone in the scalp.
