how long do you have to be doing it for/how often for your voice to become lower? im a singer and have been smoking about 3 months and have already noticed a difference..maybe Im imagining it? Also, if your voice does become lower, can you change that?

don't do it.
It isn't so much it makes your voice "lower"
it makes it hoarse sounding. Not something you
want if you are a singer.
I don't know about the opera singer. She did
quit when she noticed it. That may have been
her savings grace. If you ignore it and
continue to smoke, it does not go away. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

Idina Menzel(Broadway superstar) used to smoke when she played in RENT in the 90s. Notice her voice was very low (I didnt like it). Youtube it. Then youtube her in wicked. She quit for the role and played very high notes. (She won a Tony for it). With proper training, you can get your voice back to how it was, if not, better.
