Severe Hair Loss. Habit Of Chewing Tons Of Nicorette Gums. Suggest
I'm 49 yrs old, male, still pretty full head of hair. But I'm experiencing definite hair loss (thinning much quicker than has happened ever before) after chewing tons of Nicorette Gum (4mg) for the past 6 months. Is this hair loss permanent or will it grow back if I stop now? (Am I expediting the irreversible hair loss process which obviously happens now to someone my age??)
thanks! michael
