2) If you want to quit smoking, ask your doctor about wellbutrin/zyban/buproprion. That stuff worked great for me, have been cig-free for two years, which is statistically the point when you become very unlikely to relapse.
That's actually really good to hear. I think my hair might be just a little bit thicker, but I could also be saying that since my hair is starting to grow out longer. I don't know, I was reading my earlier post and it kinda made me feel shitty, but I don't feel as shitty as when I wrote it.
As for cigarettes, it seems like some people have actually done a study positively correlating smoking and hair loss. Check it out: http://www.centreforhairloss.co.uk/articles/12/1/Cigarettes-may-cause-hair-loss/Page1.html.
With the cessation of cigarettes I know for a fact I would eat more food, and this would give me more incentive to go running or doing other cardiovascular type of things to keep my weight in check. This would totally be a good thing as I think I kind of need to gain weight anyways.
So... cessation of smoking, cardiovascular activity, healthy lifestyle, anti-oxidants, minoxidil sulfate, as well as the fact that I still might have my young age going for me might hit the mark. This sort of thing is not an easy undertaking by any means, it's not easy to make such drastic lifestyle changes, but there's no doubt there's a lot of positivity behind it. Best to do it now though, and not wait until I really am physically aging beyond repair. Not only that but it's still summer and not too cold to go outside and do some physical activity.
After seeing some older pictures of myself it seems to me that my complexion is also not as good as it used to be, I'm only 20 so I can only really attribute some sort of environmental factors for this sort of thing. I actually come from a family line that tends to age pretty gracefully, and I feel like I'm the black sheep in more than one way.
It's really really hard to change some significant things in life, but I think it's the sort of thing that really can define your worth as a person.
