    Smoking also makes you wheeze, cough, create lung cancer, creates emphysema, sucks money from your wallet at over $4 per pack, the scent of smoke stays in your house and car and cannot come out but can only be covered up with air fresheners, causes stains on your walls of your house which can only be covered up with fresh paint, stains your teeth yellow, creates an addiction to nicotine, and once you start it is VERY hard to quit!!

    There is more CONS than PROS to the idea of starting to smoke just because to want a raspy voice. I strongly suggest seeking another alternative to getting your desired raspy voice, if nothing else, choose a different singer for that sound choice or just not go with that particular sound. It is NOT worth the side effects of smoking!!!

    And smoking will get you in the end, one way or the other. Don't kid yourself and think that it won't. I am a nurse and have seen plenty of causes from cigarettes or secondary to them. Oh! And by the way...don't forget throat cancer. Raspy voices from cigarette smoke is not charming or sexy. For a non smoker, all you hafta do is listen to someone talk, or cough to know they love those cancer weeds.
