# How Smoking Affects Hair Loss

We already know that cigarette smoking is mostly related to lung cancer and respiratory illness and damage to the respiratory organs. But the negative impact of cigarette smoking is not limited only to cancer and respiratory issues it also increases the chances of baldness. In the most recent study of 2020 researchers found that there is a wide difference in the hair loss pattern of smokers and non-smoker young adults between the age of 20 to 35 years. 85% of the smoking population resembled some degree of hair loss pattern at an early age between 18 to 35 years. While only 40% of the non-smoker's population resembled hair loss at an early age. From the study reports, it is clear that cigarette smoking dissuades a major impact on hair loss patterns as well as a deadly disease like cancer.
