Cigaratte companies & entertaiment media promote smoking as somthing hip & kool, specifically marketing & targeting to teenage youth who become quickly addicted.


The only improvement?! (if you even want to call it that) is developing a husky voice (aka hoarse damaged) voice from irritated throat & vocal chords with lung capacity efficiency, followed later developing emphysema, lung cancer, and death. Not a healthy scenerio. The fact is: contrary to cigarette company hype promote only to increase sales (profit) to line their pockets alone, there's not one single benefit to cigarette smoking for a singer.

I have NEVER smoked, and NEVER plan to start.

My advice. If you don't smoke, don't ever start. If you smoke now, quit.

PS: Even being exposed to 2nd hand cigarette smoke has been now shown to lead to lung cancer.
