Do parents that smoke and drink alcohol give birth to baies that lack calcium? small bones, missing teeth...?

Question

Do parents that smoke and drink alcohol have babies that lack calcium? Such as small bones, missing teeth, short, etc....

I'm asking this because my dad smoked and drinks a lot of alcohol before he made me, and he still does. My mom doesn't.

I am 15 year old boy. I'm 5 foot 7, that kind of tall, but I have 8 missing teeth!!! And I also have a small piglike flat nose and a small head size compared to my body size.

All that has to do with bone size and calcium. My mom thinks that its because my dad smoked and drinks so much that his sperms lacked calcium, so when he made me, I lack calcium.

Is that true. Because I'm a little mad at my dad. I have 8 missing teeth, a tiny flat nose, and a small head.

If it is true, will drinking a lot of milk give me back the calcium? I'm trying to drink at least 4 cups of milk per day to get back the calcium.

Thanks in advance for answers.

Answer 1

I smoke and my husband doesn't, and all 3 of our kids turned out healthy. Most problems are because of genetics. That's what this sounds like. Smoking does not give you a small head, or missing teeth, or a flat nose. Genetics.

So ease up on your pops. Your mom could be the one with the bad genes for all you know. You're mad at your dad for no reason.
