I've heard from many different people in the past few years that "smoking stunts your growth". Is this true? and if it is what kinds of smoke stunt your growth, if not all of them, and how do they decrease it?

take it from me, after a year of smoking is when my growth started to stop.... techincally, looking at the rest of my family, i should be much taller. but im not... lol.
then again, a friend of mine started smoking a little later but was still growing, and now hes a freaking skyscaper of a human.... lol.
maybe its partially genetics? or partially the age at which you start? (i started with 12...). i dont know

Complete bullshit. They say the same about caffiene.
It's all in your genetics. If you want to be your tallest, then be well fed and exercise.

I'm not sure how much diet and excersize would contribute to growing tall. I know some amazing body builders who are no bigger than 5'8".
I'd say that it's more or less to do with genetics. Thyroid and all that jazz is where it's really at afaik. But a good diet and excersize would be very good to keep in mind nonetheless.

Who's to say this isn't one of the million unfounded drug statements out there? Seems like complete and utter bullshit, as usual.
