Does pipe smoking affect the quality of voice and speech of a nose cancer survivor?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Probably: I can't tell you there's any research on this, but smoking in general changes the quality of your voice. This is because it inflames your vocal cords and poisons the tissues in your nose, mouth, throat and lungs. If you have already had nose cancer, you may have a high susceptibility to developing cancer from tobacco. I'm preaching now: please don't smoke! your doctor can help you quit!

Yes: Regardless of your medical history smoking can cause inflammation of the vocal cords and create voice changes.
