Will drinking and smoking cause teenagers to be smaller and stop growing in height earlier than those who didn't? because my uncles kept growing till 18-19 whilemy cousin who drinks and smokes stopped at 17. i'm worried my younger brother will suffer?

That could happen. Drinking & smoking are just a pattern of behavior that can interfere with proper nutrition over time. Failing to properly nourish the growing body can stunt growth. The effect would vary with the intensity of the poor nutrition.
