Will Smoking Cigarets And Marijuana Stunt The Growth?

My nephew began smoking cigs and marijuana during puberty i believe. He is now 30 and I'm wonder did smoking "stunt" his growth. He confided in me and recently quit both bad habits. its seems as if his nipples are beginning to get smaller and his "ball sac" may be growing. Is this possible or is he hallucinating?
