My husband quit smoking 30 days ago after smoking for over 50 yrs. his voice has changed! is this permanent? he's not happy!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Healing after Cigs..: I would first tell him a hearty congratulations. And, second give my opinion that no this is not a permanent change. When one is smoking the natural anti-inflammatory part of healing does not work well in the tissues of the throat and trachea. It can take several months after stopping smoking to clean out all of the tar and toxic stuff in the lungs to get to normal. But, he is on his way!
