Every weekend he usually goes to a party (or 2) he usually has about 1-3 smokes (he tells me). He doesn't smoke when he's soba only when he's drunk. Now he's 16 and still growing. I'm wondering if these 3 smokes a weekend is stunting his growth?

I been smoking since i was 14 and i still grew a extra foot. So no it will not stop. What you do need to understand though is that your child is MINOR. Cant smoke till he is 18 and drink till he is 21 (or if your state or country says otherwise). Be strict on him, i regret smoking because i cant stop, but you have to make him stop. Remember, your the adult, hes the minor. As long as he lives under your roof, he will do as you say or he can go packing. And don't want to sound harsh, but their is always a way to threat him with Juvinial hall because remember, he is doing that Illegally.

it doesn't stunt his physical growth but it shire stunts his mental growth. he is now showing how stupid he is by drinking alcohol and smoking. pier pressure will make a stupid kid do things someone with intelligence and integrity won't do. he is starting a very destructive life style, do what you can to guide him in a more fruitful and productive lifestyle.even if he must leave his present environment.

I don't know whether it is stunting his growth -- but he sure is developing some very bad habits at such a young age. I suggest getting him into a rehab quickly before he is a totally worthless alcoholic.

Smoking does not stunt your growth. But it does cause you to have heart attacks, strokes, cancer, asthma, chronic obstructrive lung disease and other health problems. I would be more worried about him getting one of these disease than stunting his growth.

Ummm.... this is a prank right?
The smokes might not stunt his growth, but the drinking might kill him.

stunt growth - no
slowly killing himself, and shorting his life by smoking - YES

She is slowly poisoning himself. Put a stop to it ASAP before he gets hooked. It is toxic and very addicting.
Good luck!
