Answer:
Smoking is just all-around bad news for your voice. Smoking has the effect of keeping the tissues in and around your voice-producing structures constantly irritated. This is why heavy, long-term smokers' voices are often low in pitch. Scientists have also found a connection between smoking and the reflux of stomach acids. Smoking seems to lower the pressure in the valve joining the esophagus to the stomach. If stomach acids “back up” in the throat, they might spill over into the larynx (voice box) and irritate its delicate tissues. Finally, smoking decreases lung function and without good lung power, more stress is put upon the larynx when speaking or singing.

Answer:
I think either you got it or you don't. You mentioned cigarettes, but I thought about a lot of great singers that smoke. Maybe it depends.

And the same goes for weed, there's a lot of big name musicians who openly smoke, or had been caught smoking pot.
