More bad news for smokers: Your daily fix could be making you go bald

If there's one thing that the bloggers here at That's Fit have discovered, it's that few things get our readers' backs up as much as a blog about smoking. Whether we're commenting on a report about the cons, or very rarely the pros, of smoking, the responses that we get both from readers who smoke and those who don't can get pretty passionate.

As a result, I'm pretty curious to see what people have to say about this report that claims smoking wrecks your hair. Apparently, the doctor who created the study did so after he noticed that his cigarette-smoking patients tended to look older, have more grey hair or less hair in general than non-smoking patients. This observation led to the study and the results supported the observation. Both female and male participants of all ages who smoke had a higher instance of premature grey hair, while male participants who smoke also had a greater incidence of premature balding.

Sure, declining hair quality isn't exactly as big a motivator to quit as something deadly like cancer or emphysema, but it may not be welcome news for smokers out there who take pride in their mane. So what do all of you cigarette-lovers and-haters out there think about the report? Do you believe it makes sense or do you feel it's all a bunch of hooey?
