How much do smoking and stress affect hairloss?

[LebenistneHure]

I started smoking 3 months ago after my breakup even though I have never smoked cigs in my life, and I have asthma jfl. Anyways, the sides if the hairline, aka the temples have been receding for a few years now, albeit at a regular pace though. But recently, like a month ago, I noticed hair thinning straight up in the middle of my hairline where it starts. Could stress of a breakup also have caused an increased shedding? I also got her pregnant a few months ago and I thought my life was over, this is the biggest stress Ive ever experienced in my life, I was straight up drunk for a whole week. I heard that it takes about 3 months to start noticing hairloss from a stressful episode, and Ive had two in a span of two months, latest one being 3 months ago, and another one 2 months before the last.

It is well-known that smoking damages skin and entices premature wrinkles to break-out, however with regards to hair-loss I am uncertain.

Stress, poor diet, and smoking can cause hairloss due to inflammation and stress on the body, but this type of hairloss is reversible if you improve your lifestyle. Typical male pattern baldness type hairloss is genetic

Well, thing is I'm pretty sure I have some level of MPB like most males, but up until a month or two ago hairloss seemed slow and steady, I still have thick hair aside from temples which are receding, but I literally suddenly noticed almost like a thinning patch in the middle of my hairline, and that's what's making me think it's stress-related, since I noticed it suddenly. Temples were always receding which is fine by me, but the rest had a pretty uniform thickness. Now it's patchy, kind of. idk maybe I should visit a derm

Could be stress then.
