Can smoking stun growth?

Question

iam 14 and i smoke but i dont inhale and i do marijuna but again i dont inhale i smoke bout 4 or 5 cigarettes and i did marijuna twice so can this stun my growth if it does what should i do

Answer 1

you dont inhale?

It dosent matter. You can get cancer, and other diseases by just being near the smoke.

and marijuana, your 14?! its illegal, and you are underage.

and dude, if it can give you cancer, and other diseases, dont you think it would stun your growth too?

Answer 2

For a start, why do you smoke and not inhale, your damaging your health when your not even addicted. Just because you do not inhale it doesn't mean it will not effect you. It's still damages your health.

And no smoking does not stun your growth. I smoked for 6 years when growing up and I am 6'3

Answer 3

Smoking can impair brain development and make you write "stun growth" when you mean stunt growth.  Yeah...

Throw them away.

Answer 4

yes

stop

Answer 5

Why don't you ask the millions of people who are hooked on tobacco and now have or will have cancer because of the poisons in it and see if they care about stunted growth??  Don't do it.  Life is difficult enough without you adding to the problems by being stupid and smoking poison of any kind.  My mother died at a young age due to smoking.  People did not know about the dangers then, but everyone knows now.  Be smart and take care of yourself now, you will never regret it.  You will regret smoking when you cannot stop and have emphysema and other health problems that cannot be cured.  

Answer 6

Start taking vitamins.  Start with 1/2 the dose recommended and drink lots of water, expect to go to the restroom more because of the increase in water.

Please as a favor to me stop the smoking.  I have cancer and have gone through chemotherapy (lost all my hair, eyebrows and eyelashes) and gone through radiation.

My Mom smoked when she was expecting me and Dad smoked too until I was 11 years old.  I am 55 years old now, and want you to stop smoking and not ruin your life and maybe someone else's life in the future.

A little thing like not smoking is a little thing to ask.  But means so much to me.  

Thanks if you do quit!!  

Answer 7

No, that's an old wive's tale. A study of teenagers found that the smokers and non-smokers were on average within 1 cm of one another.

No it wont, pots good for you, try and make sure you cut down on the tobacco though. Amphetamines will stunt growth though (personal experiences :[)

Answer 10

Anytime you put anything into your mouth whether it be something good or bad for you it affects your whole body. Your body is still growing and maturing so just be really careful what you put in your body and treat itgood because it's the only one you will ever have. You can't really answer yes or no to that question because somethings you do to your body don't show up to later in life. I just think you're really young and there's a lot of other things that you should be doing besides smoking anything. Be Smart!

Answer 11

If you smoke a lot during your growing years your peak height is likely to be a whole inch shorter than your potential height.
