joni mitchell's voice has been ravaged by smoking. van morrison's too. levon helm had a serious bout with throat cancer, survived, but cant sing as well as he used too. its amazing that he can sing at all and, apparently, spent a lot of time working at getting his voice back.

wow.

i was a smoker/singer and often times felt that i sang better during the times i smoked. it did cause me to get hoarse after a performance.

but after quitting for many years, im singing well, dont get hoarse as easily, and FEEL BETTER in general.

smoking is a crazy a**, bad habit... sucking SMOKE into your lungs... thats simply crazy.

imho.
