If looking cool is the reason why you started smoking, consider some new information to come out of National Taiwan University in Taipei.

According to a study on the relationship between smoking and hair loss, researchers found that smoking damages hair follicles and interferes with blood and hormone circulation on your dome. And, as if that wasn't bad enough, smoking also boosts the production of oestrogen, stunting the growth of your precious locks.

Very few people can effectively pull off bald, so your chances of being cool (which was your original goal for smoking in the first place, remember?) are much higher with hair. Just yet another reason why you may want to put out the cigarettes for good.
