Re: Does smoking stunt your growth?

Yes, smoking can stunt your growth.  The effect is more severe during the 
early stages of growth, however, while still in the mother's womb.  
Mothers that smoke during their pregnancies have lower birth-weight babies 
than women that don't smoke.

After birth, especially in America today, where everyone is over-
nourished, the effect is pretty small because the bones are so well 
supplied with their building blocks in the form of food.
