1 day ago TORONTO — A new study says teenage girls who smoke cigarettes are no more likely to lose weight than girls who don't smoke, but teenage boys who smoke are on average 2.54 centimetres shorter than those who don't. The researchers say the findings could have important public health implications, especially since many young girls who take up smoking say they do it to control their weight. Dr. Jennifer O'Loughlin of the University of Montreal says the research team was surprised there was no link between girls' weights and their smoking habits, because they too bought into the myth that girls who smoke weigh less. She says the impact on boys' heights may be because they are still growing when they start to smoke, suggesting those who want to be athletes should see smoking as a bad idea. Read more
