Smoking and Hair Transplants

[andreasg]

Hi everyone I’m new here.

I was thinking about having a hair transplant some time in the coming year. I’m in my mid thirties and have been smoking since I was 16 years old. I have read that if I decide to have surgery I will have to stop. I’d like to stop but it’s been very difficult for me. I’ve tried at least a dozen times over the years and always go back to it. I know that this sounds stupid, but I am being realistic.If I don't stop smoking will I still be able to have a hair transplant?
