Chain Smoker, Chews Nicotine Gums, Hair Loss. Solution For Hair Loss?
I have Been Smoking Cigarettes for last 7 Years. Last 2 years I alternated between Smoking Cigarretes and Chewing Nicotine Gums. Some Days Having more than a strip of chewing Gums. ( 10 + Gums per Day )
Since the time I started Chewing Nicotine Gums, My hair loss has accelerated. I have lost a lot of hair.
Please tell me if it is reversible once I stop Smoking and Chewing Gums.
I am getting depressed about my hair and I am ready even to try quitting Nicotine Substances, if My hair loss Stops and Hair regrows.
