Smoked 14-18 im 5 ft 10 father was 6ft3 brothers + younger are all over 6 ft 2 , quit smoking over a year how can i retain my height?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a physician: There is probably no way to retain your height. In fact, you may be only supposed to grow this tall. However, there are some medical conditions that a physician could diagnose. For instance, scoliosis. Sometimes, considering you are a male, you may still be growing.
