Health Risks for Teenage Smokers

I was 17 my kids were plder didnt stunt their growth and then if ya think that my hubby stoo 6ft.1 and started when he was 10

I have never smoked, but my brother did when he was about 14-16 then quit Maybe THAT'S why he's only 5'6!

I think that smoking does stunt your growth. It has always been a myth but I do believe it. I think smoking does curb some person's appetite though and that is what makes them get thinner. I started smoking in my late teens. It used to keep me from eating alot which helped me to lose some weight. I have a teenage girl and she don't smoke. I don't have any boys.

My grandmother always told me smoking would stunt my growth. But I think it was just a way to keep me from smoking. It didn't work. I started smoking when I was 16. My oldest daughter smokes and she stands 5'6. My husband stands 6'1 and he smokes. My stepdad stood 6'3 and he smoked. So no I don't think it stunts your growth.

Yes I smoke and I have tried everything to stop smoking and I even tried cold turkey nothing works but my daughter doesn't smoke at all and she is as tall a me and of course my son did smoke and he is 6'1 and my daughter and I are only 5'6 but my son quit cold turkey and I don't know how he did it but he did and I am so proud of him. him and I both started at age 16 he is 28 now and I am 51. and he is slim and don't know how much he weighs but I weigh at 122 1/2 pounds.
