Smoking yes : Singing isn't the problem. Smoking is. If you want to significantly increase your chances of getting all types of cancer keep smoking. Every time you light up you are risking your life. Not only cancer, but heart disease and stroke. And if that were not enough it makes you look prematurely old messing up your skin. I know its hard to do, but, your life does depend on it.
