Everything in moderation..right?
So let's say I smoke weed/barely a whole cigarette every 3-4 months. Let's also say I sing, and practice it religiously. After I do smoke I go on a regime-healing rampage (voice exercises everyday, jogging, tons of water and tea, --I'm going to start doing this all the time as well) I also play clarinet(which builds strength in the voice). So in the long run, since I'm doing this in moderation (meaning, I'm really limiting myself and constantly making sure my voice get's better after I do smoke) Is it okay to smoke every once in awhile? I'm 18, enjoy occasional partying and wouldn't get into any other drugs nor buy any on my own. Thankyou!

Ignore everyone below.
As often as you're talking about, there's likely about zero damage. Maybe you cough and your throat roughens up for a day afterwards.
Based off of anecdotal evidence, but also based on the consensus of a large amount of anecdotal evidence.
That's purely based on the fact that you're smoking something. Think about a sandblaster. Air and high speed particles that can scour paint off concrete. When you smoke, you inhale tiny particles of burnt plant matter. Carbon (what eventually turns into diamond) and other byproducts which are harder than the surface of your throat and thus capable of scratching it.
When you smoke, it's a light sandblasting. But your throat is not paint on concrete. It heals. As little as you do it, I suspect that coughing heavily would be worse for your throat than the actual smoking.
So far as backing that up, there are years and years worth of lab study on marijuana and I doubt a single one significantly investigated the long term effects on singing in low quantities.

Bottom line...smoking kills. If you are truly a musician (vocals) I reccommend that you do not smoke at all. THis is coming from someone who is pretty antidrug keep in mind(I wouldnt care if pot was leagal I would just never do it).

Smoking is bad for your health. There's no other way to put it. Can you get really sick from it? Yes. Can you not get sick at all? Yes. Even though there are tons of studies down about the effects of smoking weed and the toll it has on your brain, no one really knows for sure because some people get sick and some don't. If you are going to keep smoking that's up to you but remember it is illegal and you'll have a hefty fine if you don't have a medical marijuana license. However, doing those other healthy lifestyle changes doesn't mean it will help. You still smoke it but it probably can't hurt trying.
