Does smoking affect singing?

Theoretically speaking, smoking will definitely have a bad effect on singing, which will lead to hoarseness, trachea and lung problems to some extent. But personally, I don't think it has much impact. The most important link to decide whether you sing well or not is the use of breath. The use of breath is a skill, not necessarily a large lung capacity, but mainly depends on your personal level. In terms of timbre, most songs can be sung up and down octaves, which is no problem for most people. Of course, sound has the greatest influence on the quality of sound. In fact, the timbre is not necessarily good or bad. Most people can't sing bel canto Song Like Zuying, let alone sing a drama. On the contrary, there are many songs that need a little vicissitudes to express, without pursuing their own timbre. Natural sound is the best. What really hurts the voice the most is drinking high-alcohol liquor and using your voice excessively, especially yelling at your voice after drinking liquor. Don't do that.
