There is a characteristic sound that a voice has, when it has been exposed to
smoke repeatedly... doesn't really matter what "kind" of smoke.?? It is very
obvious in singers.?? It's hard to describe, but is distinctive.? Even second
hand has this effect, although not as severe.?? I can almost always tell is
one of my vocal students smokes, or even has smoked, or whose parents
smoke.?? It's not 100 percent, but about 95...

Again, though, James is right.?? While the body is remarkable, and given
time, can recover, some of that damage is permanent, much as a scar is
permanent.?? It will fade with time, but is almost always there.

Soooo .... we should all smoke pot and cigarettes and shoot heroin so that we
will sound good???

In my misspent youth I worked as a speech therapist, grandiosed as 'speech
pathologist'. I can tell you that smoking does permanent damage to the vocal
mechanism.
