A member asked:
Will pipe smoking lead to a weak left vocal fold?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: Pipe smoke not being inhaled commonly leads to cancers of the mouth, tongue and nasopharynx. Weakness of the vocal cords is usually due to a nerve injury, neurological pathology such as a growth in the brain or polyps and other such growths of the soft tissues of the vocal cord and throat.
