i got into music because of my dad. back in his prime days, he plays guitar, he sings, and he smoke a lot of cigs. now he's 66, his voice is still the same, he can still sing but with uncontrollable coughs every 5 seconds for 2 minutes. so yeah everyone who advocates "smoking doesnt affect voice", yeah i guess they were right.
I understand not wanting to quit, but deluding yourself into thinking that smoking doesn't affect your voice in the face of facts to the contrary is just coping. I vaped, then smoked, then vaped again, and when I quit, I noticed that it was a lot easier to hit notes and hold them (at least when singing in the car). I'm back to vaping again, but I would like to quit at some point because I want to take care of my voice and get into singing/voiceover more seriously. So thanks for making this video, it gave me something to think about.
Ay man keep it up I cold turkey’d about 3 weeks ago (tomorrow actually being 3 weeks) I was hitting carts a shit ton daily non stop. Like I was smoking carts like they were vapes basically and it was fucking up my voice as well and I was so fucked up constantly I was having issues speaking and I was afraid of losing basic motor skills like talking and shit so I quit. Still going strong and don’t have any plans to go back. Hopefully this helps someone or convinces someone to quit smoking as well. For those who are having issues quitting y’all got this! and don’t go back just take shit one step at a time.
1) People overestimate their singing abilities (I was like this too), if you're mediocre at best, whether you smoke or not won't change much 2) Many pop/rap artists are mediocre singers at best , there are many outliers but as a whole it's accurate 3) Short term effects of smoking: shortness of breath, itchy/sore throat and more 4) Long term effects of smoking: you die. and also you're more prone to vocal nodules and other cool shit Banger video btw
Let me be dead serious here. I had both my lungs collapse, I had to get surgery on both of them, one after the other, because the surgery itself is too traumatizing on the body to have them both operated on simultaneously. The trauma that those surgeries and the collapses put me through basically ruined my life for the last 4 years. I got hooked on Oxy, then mixed Oxy with alcohol, then used coke as a intermediary for Oxy when I couldn’t get it. I never even drank outside of the occasional house party beforehand. The collapses felt like I got shot, the trauma that subsequently followed has made me feel like I want to shoot myself. Before my lungs collapsed I was working on music for over 24 hours at a time, smoking weed, and vaping. Since I was only 20-22 at the time, I felt invincible. Completely out of the blue, while recording, the first collapse nearly killed me, and I’d never wish that pain on my worst enemy. It was my fault, I pushed myself way too hard. And I lost a hell of a lot of time that I’ll never get back due to my own hubris. I struggle seriously with substance now, I still smoke, (not as much, but goddamn is it stupid I do at all) It’s not just that you’ll lose a lot of your power behind your vocals, the trauma from major medical events will absolutely change you, and not for the better. Take care of yourselves. Edits: clarity, kinda hard to talk about this as I have huge gaps in my memory now. Proofreading a few times helps bring things back into focus.
the whole reason i stopped smoking was because my memory was getting so shit. im so sorry about your experience and i wish u the absolute best. your story is powerful and hella real
Smoking is bad my G... I sang way better before I started smoking... smoking now forces me to go above and beyond, but as a man close to leaving that shit I'd say this, don't let your enjoyment of something distort the reality of what is. Stay safe.
Hope all goes well with quitting man, I'm honestly heavily thinking about quitting weed (smoking) and moving to edibles cause I've noticed my voice is A LOT worse after smoking. I don't see how people think it really dosen't effect you.
I’ve been putting off smoking when I know I’m gonna record, and tried edibles but damn just being stoned makes me sing like ass and play (guitar) like ass🤣
brother, you keep up posting, u gonna end up being a successful celeb out here on yt, ur content is amazing!! also good luck with your music, i peeped some of the songs they lit💥
Man I feel you on the vaping though, like it hurts my lungs, but the most I can get so far is 3 days off and it’s always 3 days of hell when I do manage to get the time off
you know what, i had a dream like 4 days ago where i was just smoking cigarettes like it was absolutely nothing, and oddly enough it kinda gave me the temptation for some reason, ill take this video finding it’s way into my algorithm as a sign to forget about it lmao
How come no one brought up Miley Cyrus on any side of the conversation. She’s been singing all her life and is rich enough to pay for a top notch singing coach and you can clearly hear how smoking has affected her speaking and singing voice
been smoking weed for 4 years and making music for 6 years, i have started coughing up black shit and its gotten to the point where everytime i talk/sing i gotta clear my throat or it sounds like theres a booger in my throat. its horrible. i always wonder how much better i would sound if i never smoked
it’s actually insane that anyone would try to argue the smoking statement like… am I dreaming ??? 😭 you also disclaimed it’s your decision to choose to smoke or not like lmao
0:16 🤓 uhh, as a Queen fan this isn't true Freddie had a lot of problems with smoking, If you compare his last recorded show (In My Defence at The Time Musical) with his show at Wembley you'll see how huge the difference is and how quiting smoking made his voice way better at lives gigs sooo uhhh yeah no true 🤓👆
back again after i got very positive feedback on my last comment, im a very heavy smoker. i constantly vape the ever living life out of my alto and have been hooked ever since i was 16-17 years old and started hitting my homies box mods every now and again just to later on finally get enough money to get my own. i also toke on the green stuff a lot more than i should cuz w adhd i was on adderall for basically my whole childhood up to high school and didnt wanna take it anymore so i used weed to help me quit for good and i havent touched a pill in almost 7 years now and im hoping to one day say the same for nicotine and weed cuz im 24 and starting to get burnt out from it altogether mentally. anyways smoking can alter your voice completely if you are not careful, especially if you are someone who likes to drink liquor.
I'm not even tryna sing but I still fucking want to quit cigarettes because that shit affects you in way more ways than you might think. Less motivation, less energy, less focus, smell like shit, costs a fuck ton of money, and does basically nothing for you. This is all besides the obvious risks of cancer because everyone has known the health risks since the age of like 4. tldr nice video
well i dont deny that smoking is bad but i asume it depends on how frequent you smoke, and as you said, you smoked fucking everyday and it was fucking up your voice but there are other people that just smoke once a week or month which the body recovers, like when you feel tired and just go to sleep and then next day you feel energetic, im not endorsing smoking, i just wanna give another option as to why some singers still have a clean non-smoking voice. plus other obvious options like autotune and musical technology
1:30 I get that they meant to use it as a synonym for garbage due to how similar they sound, but why the fuck does this person think garbanzo beans suck? Did they never have any falafel or hummus?
ngl, smoking blunts fucks up your throat, sometimes it gives you a good raspy voice but if you dont or cant use it like others its pointless, nicotine is just bad for you, like im ab to try to quit for health reasons, some people are ignorant and stubborn its a overall life improvement lmao
It sucks. You're in pain when you lay down an try to find a comfortable position, your throat starts to feel the effects more an more from smoking, your voice becomes compete 💩 struggling to hit a note, your more heavy an harsh with pronunciation, you start to become more out of tune with your natural voice on a daily, it causes your breathing to become restrain an suppressed, you struggle to speak correctly and the addiction increases.😒
the amount of content fit into this 6 minutes is insane
“sMoKiNg dOesN-“
*Electrolarynx’s, the medical device made specifically so people can speak after the degradation of the voice box from smoking:*
Thats long term tho. Youre fine for now

Already 1 hr smoke free we’re proud of you son 🤓
As someone who smokes, yes it is🤠👍🏼Some people’s education was severely affected by coronavirus and it’s really starting to show…
Some smokers refuse to believe the smoke has any downsides

You can get better at singing, and smoking do change your voice to worse.
Thank you for making this! You may have helped more people than you think who have been wanting to quit smoking :)

proud to be 18 years clean off nicotine 🙏

I think if I smoke and do drugs my mom will be mad >:(

I smoke every other day and I’ve been having problems with my vocals so ig this could be why
This is something that needed to be said? I thought everybody knew smoking could affect your voice and throat
7 years sober . Quit smoking
At the same time. If you wanna record that classic and leave your mark on the world. Just Do it.
I learned to sing after i had already started smoking and no one complains about my singing ability. Im no Adele but i think ill be fine.
I'm addicted to your vids and I can't quit, please send help
