Does Smoking Stunt Your Growth?

[mobile]

Does smoking stunt your growth in height when you are going through puberty? If so, how badly does it affect your growth and can it make your penis stop growing? thanks

Smoking can't make your penis stop growing or stunt your height (nothing can really make you stop growing except malnutrition)

When people talk about smoking 'stunting your growth', that applies to when you're a wee baby inside your mom's womb. If the mother smokes, this can cause the baby to have deformities or stunt the baby's growth.

Although, I have read that it only stunts the growth of your lungs. Which can be bad too, and if you're in puberty and smoking cigarettes this can cause more damage than if you were an adult and smoking because your body is still growing.

Thanks for the replies, sorry for a bit of a stupid thread.

Many people have told me that smoking stunts your growth, not completely but it will prevent you from growing to your full height, im sure this is true Ive heard so many people say it :confused:

As far as I can tell, it doesn't really (except for babies)
Tho it's not a good idea to smoke anyways, there are other things that are just as bad that happen to you if you smoke.

smoking is just a bad thing in general
my advice is to stay away
and it can lead to health problems such as growth but this is rare im assuming

There is no real scientific proof that smoking stunts your growth.

There is, however, evidence that it kills you. That's probably a bit more important...

um it doesnt stunt your growth
but it can give you very crappy lungs when you get older

I'm 6"2' and I smoked from 11-13... I don't think it does.

i haven't heard of smoking causing problems with development. its probably a myth, but if you want to make sure maybe you could stop smoking?
