DOES TOBACCO AFFECT YOUR GROWTH?

TOBACCO

WHO'S GROWTH WAS AFFECTED?

THE PROBLEM

• Puberty- during puberty kids are maturing
• Growing- they are growing, and developing
• The boys who smoke don't put on as much weight or height

Cigarettes
If boys smoke 10 cigarettes per day or 300 per year it shows that they are .7cm to 1in shorter than boys who don't smoke.

• If boys smoke 10 cigarettes a day or 300 a year
• How much shorter?

A way to prevent your child/children from smoking is to set a good example and not smoke yourself.
