No: Elongation of the styloid process and calcification of the stylohyoid ligament - eagle's syndrome - has nothing to do with smoking.

No: Eagle' s syndrome is an elongation of a bony process from the inferior portion of your skull. It may be due to several medical conditions or arise spontaneously, but it is not a response to tobacco use.
