iv been substituting with almond milk. cigs are a no go, they probably cause hair loss via other mechanisms than androgens.

Oxidative stress, most likely. This effect, however, is probably negligible unless you're a pack a day smoker of sorts.

i dunno, a cig a day is probably enough. Im pretty sure nicotine affects Nitric oxide levels somehow, which is crucial for hair growth.

i guess if your prone to baldness, cigs may have a negative affect on hair, but you will never really know until a controlled study is done.
It could be that those individuals werent smoking for a suffecient amount of time to cause baldness, it may have caused hair loss here and there but not enough to cause baldness.

Regarding cigs I hate to admit it but I smoke like a chimney- there's a plethora of health reason and im goin to quit for those. I'm sure all the crap in cigs will be screwing up my capillaries also, so many good reasons to quit.

Double edged sword tho-hairloss stresses me, smokes calm me-ah well gotta kick away the crutch.
