    TLDR Smoking can cause and worsen male pattern hair loss.
    This meta-analysis study quantitatively synthesized evidence on the relationship between smoking and androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in men. The findings indicate that smoking nicotine-containing tobacco can trigger and aggravate AGA. This study fills a gap in the literature by providing meta-analytic evidence that supports the link between smoking and male pattern hair loss.
