Does anyone know how much can smoking cigarettes as a teenager affect your growth? How much does it matter when you start smoking? I smoked regularly about one package per day approximately from the ages of fifteen to seventeen. I was already pretty tall when I started (192cm/6'3), but my growth definitely slowed down after I started smoking. Ofc the reason might just be that I was already so tall and my estimated height was 198cm/6'6, and that's actually my current height (I'm in my early twenties). So for me my estimated height was 100% accurate, but after seeing how tall kids younger than me are getting I've started to feel bad for my poor life decisions in my teenage years. It feels a little bit weird to see so many people being about the same height as me, after being used to pretty much always being the tallest guy in the room. I live in Northern Europe, so people are quite tall over here. How much taller do you think I could've become if I never smoked? I have a perfectionistic personality in the sense that it bothers me if I don't reach my full potential in whatever are of life, and I guess that's why this question has started bothering me. I do obviously know that 198cm/6'6 is still very tall, but if you can provide me with an answer it just might give me peace of mind at least when it comes to this question. Thank you!
