Does smoking prevent bone growth

[Bigfatpersonboy]

I know that smoking tobacco at a young age can stop you reaching potential height, but does it have the same impact on bone density/width?

No

highly doubt it. smoking barely stunts height growth, even if it does it's probably by 2 inches at most. so i guess that bone growth wouldn't be affected that much from it.
