Yes it can!

For some reason it affects girls alot more than guys. Your still a young age so your lungs have not yet fully grown. Smonking will halt this process. It stunts growth in muscles also.

For guys smocking will also stop growth in the crotch region also.

Stay off the fags man

Best Wishes,

In my 3 years of studying the subject of human growth, iv found, cigarettes can actually cause a slight growth defect, nothing major, iv never heard the soda one tho.

thatgothgirl20 agony auntYes, the cigarette thing is true, and so is the soda thing, because of the caffeine. Just try to avoid sodas with caffeine. My husband now drinks caffeine free coke.
