No that is just a myth, your height is determined by your DNA (genetic make up). If your going to be tall then your going to be tall, if your going to be short then your going to be short. Saying that smoking will stunt your growth is like saying smoking will change your hair color.....uuuhhhh NO not gonna happen thank you Bye Bye.

Yes, any smoking for any period of time can cause it...\nI have actually seen people who at the age of 18 had it and only smoked for a year

Well I do not smoke. But it has almost killed my mom, she is only 56. Been sick for years. She has quit for good again we hope. \n\nIf I were you, I would try to quit. Yes, some ppl do gain weight. Talk to a doctor if you can. You need to replace it with something else. \n\nYes, I have heard how addictive and hard it is to give up. From my mom and others.\n\nNot sure, but thought I read for men it can decrease sperm count? \n\nAnything bad for you is not good for your body and will not help your sex life at all!!! Esp. if you get so you can't breath and have to be put on oxygen!!!! Sorry, just my mom has been so close to death so many times. Her lungs are not good at all.

I'm not sure about that, but I think that it possibly could, because it does in adults.\nSecond hand smoke also causes cancer, so it's best to not let your child around any cigarette smoke.\n\n\n...not to mention, it just stinks really bad...

Yes and no.  Smokeless tobacco causes different problems than smoking tobacco.  They are both adequately harm full and can both kill you.  The only reason I might say that it is worse is because it can cause physical deformity because it may cause the removal of part of your face.

i continued to grow up until i was about 22 - but only by another half an inch - yes, the cigarettes are bad for your health but not sure if they will stunt your growth - just wreck your health, but hey, who has ever cared about that at your age?

I don't think so.  Smoking is stupid, and that's coming from someone who smokes and has tried to quit several times.  If I could go back in time and change 1 thing, I would have never started to smoke.

I heard that you can get a low sperm count from smoking menthols, but not regular cigarettes.

No, I am sorry they do not affect your growth. But it will affect your mind if you let it. Because everything in life is mind over matter. And some people can handle it and some can't. But I think you should just be smart, And don't do drugs. Their is a lot of life you still have to live.

FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, SMOKING CAN AFFECT YOUR APPETITE.  MY DAD USED TO SMOKE BUT NO MATTER WHAT HE DID, HE WAS ALWAYS UNDER 200 POUNDS.  AROUND 185.\nHE NEVER GAINED ANYTHING.  BUT MAY I SAY SOMETHING PLEASE.\nIF YOU ARE SMOKING, PLEASE STOP.  MY DAD IS NO LONGER WITH MY FAMILY AND I AND LATER ON THIS MONTH, HE AND I WOULD BE CELEBRATING OUR BIRTHDAYS.  YES, I WAS BORN ON HIS BIRTHDAY.  HE IS NOT HERE ANYMORE BUT YOU ARE.\nI TELL YOU BECAUSE I CARE
