Contrary to popular belief, vaping may entail more risks than previously thought. Vaping involves inhaling an aerosol produced by heating a liquid filled with chemicals, some of which can have toxic effects on hair. The presence of nicotine in e-cigarettes is known to constrict blood vessels, potentially reducing blood flow and oxygen to hair follicles, which could contribute to hair loss. While direct evidence connecting vaping to hair loss is limited, comprehending the risks and consulting a healthcare professional is essential.
