The array of illnesses caused due to smoking gets appended by baldness. A team of international researchers recently has carried out a study and found that puffing on fags makes men prematurely bald as it accelerates the process of hair loss.

The cigarette smoke which is inhaled contains many poisonous chemicals in it. According to this research it was found that smoking may damage the genetic structure of the hair follicles, the tiny structures responsible for hair growth. There were significant associations between moderate or severe alopecia and smoking.

It also revealed a clear link between smoking and hair loss, with the heaviest smokers being most likely to suffer from male pattern baldness, even when a family history was taken into account.

The researchers found that those who smoked 20 fags a day were more than twice more likely to have moderate or severe hair loss than those who had never smoked. The risk remained elevated even among those who had quit the habit.
