Why do they say that nicotine use might delay the closure of growth plates?

[iKnow this]

Some time ago, I saw a video by an "iqlet" talking about how nicotine can delay the closure of growth plates; however, the only thing I found on the subject were studies reporting BAD bone development associated with nicotine consumption during puberty. If there is any kind soul out there who believes this claim, I would appreciate an explanation and, if possible, references to studies that support it. thanks
