To whom it may concern,
Scientific research—including a specific study out of Canada—confirms that boys and adolescents who smoke end up significantly shorter than their non-smoking peers. The takeaway is straightforward: smoking stunts growth.
Consider this your answer. We don't support smoking here on Healthline, and our goal is to encourage young people, especially children, to never start—and if they already have, to quit as soon as possible.
