Im a prepubertal child who just quit smoking,will my growth be stunted? -
I-m extremely short and haven-t his a spurt-i-m 15 and a late bloomer and just quit smoking after 2 years on and off,will my growth be permanently stunted?
Myth, No.
Glad you quit smoking though, Kicked a nasty habit.
Nah, that-s an old wive-s tale -- studies show that teens who smoke grow to within 1 cm of teens who don-t smoke, which if you look at a ruler is essentially the same.
At 15, you have significant growth ahead of you, so I wouldn-t worry much about your eventual height, but if you-re concerned, ask your doctor.
it wont stund your growth, how tall you will be is all dependant on your genes, you will definatly grow once you hit puberty, my brother went through the same thing, he didnt hit it until he was 16 and he has grown about 10 inches in 9 months! 13 is kinda young to smoke so it is a good thing you quit
No. Smoking doesn-t stunt growth. That is a myth.
