Smoking stunts hair growth
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.

Does this apply to people who smoke, or to people who are often in smoky environments as well? I recently began working in a restaurant that allows smoking in certain sections, and often find myself serving in those sections. Am I at an increased risk of damaging my hair follicles?

Good write-up Chris. However, despite the dangers of smoking, people still don't bother. I wonder if anybody has done any research why people just couldn't be bothered about quitting smoking. Btw, zeroteque has a good question. Anybody could answer it?
