Will smoking shrink my height or prevent me from growing anymore?

I have been vaping, smoking and getting high for the past 5 months. I have just started drinking a week ago. I smoke 2-4 cigarettes a day usually. I’m 18 and I know I should be done growing at this age but there’s a small chance and I want to get taller. Will those activities decrease my height or at least prevent me from growing taller?

    Short answer is, possibly. When you smoke there is an increase in carbon monoxide in your blood. That means there is less oxygen as well as some other things your body needs to build and repair itself. Also smoking can result in lower testosterone levels which can negatively effect growth. Smoking won't make you shorter or prevent growth, but it may slow any growing you are doing.

    You're too old to get taller. Drink smoke and screw yo you're 18 that's what being that age is for. 2-4 cigarettes a day is freaking nothing. You can't get shorter.

    The only drawback that I know of is a severely increased risk of lung cancer for the tobacco, liver disease and physical dependency from the alcohol, and weight gain from the pot (because munchies.) All three of them you can get addicted to though, tobacco and alcohol is just more likely.

      You forgot about COPD (emphysema & other lung conditions) caused by smoking, it's not only lung cancer.

    I'm sure that it won't shrink your height. But I'm not sure of whether it will impede ur growing taller.
