Answers:
To tell you the truth, smoking does not cause a stunt in growth. Personally, I started smoking when I was 9. I'm 48 now and was taller than both my parents. Smoking, drinking and doing drugs is detrimental to your health. This is a fact. I'd stop worrying about stunting my growth and worry about the other effects associated with smoking, drinking and doing drugs. Worry about hepatitis, emphysema and addiction. Cancer is a bigger worry than stunted growth. Stunting your growth is one of those wives tales, like masturbation causes blindness, or growing hair on your palms.Health Question & Answer
Drugs are bad mkay... You say you have always been quite healthy but quite healthy does not include drug use. You're far less healthy than the people who aren't doing drugs.
As far as stunting growth... not really sure, but wouldn't it be better to stop doing it if you're so worried.? If you really can't stop smoking and drinking even though you think it's negatively affecting you, then you have an addiction.Health Question & Answer

I don't think it will stunt your growth, but you need to stop all of the smoking and drinking. It's destroying your organs. If you don't stop soon then you are going to have more health issues when you are older.Health Question & Answer
None of them will stunt your growth.
So it can be that you will grow a few inches still.
