It does. Mars supposedly losses it 10x faster due to lack of magnetic field and less gravity or at least that was the last theory I read.
What is really interesting is why Venus has an atmosphere that is much thicker than Earth's?
It doesn't have a magnetic field and is the same mass size (approximately) of Earth yet is closer to the sun. The rate of decay is apparently nearly the same for all three planets; one ton per hour.
