Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Premature greying of hair is a concerning cosmetic problem. Hair gets its black color from melanin. Premature greying or greying happens due to lak of melanin. Melanin production depends on the health of the skin as well as internal hair tissues. There are some effective hair oils and creams available to fight premature greying of hair. Please consult a skin specialist for advice and medication.

For your knowledge, this could happen due to undue stress. Ascertain yourself and come to a conclusion. Smoking could not be the cause.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
