If you run into an older woman who has smoked for years, you can usually tell because her voice will have a distinctive sound. This is common among smokers and it is a sure sign that smoking is taking its toll on their body.
As they go through everyday life, smokers will soon wake up to the fact that cigarettes are what they are said to be and that is destructive to their health. There are literally millions of people who light up every minute and second of the day. They inhale smoke into their lungs and blow it out as if it has done something for them and in all actuality, it has done something alright. It seems like almost any kind of disease known to man can be attributed to smoking in some way or another. From cancer of the mouth, to lungs, pancreas, and so on, because you could keep going on and on with the long list of deadly diseases connected with smoking cigarettes.
The number of deaths that have been attributed to smoking cigarettes in just the last ten years is tremendous and those who are currently suffering today from smoking related diseases is still growing everyday. With all the knowledge that we now have about the affects of smoking, the number of young and older adults that smoke does not seem to not be slowing down very much.
There is something that has known to at least wake up some people about smoking and that is when they or someone they know loses their voice from smoking. Completely losing the ability to speak should make anyone quit, but surprisingly, some people continue the habit. Even seeing and experiencing such health tragedies as cancer is not enough to force some smokers to quit.
The damage smoking can do to the voice is usually more noticeable in women than in men. While there are some women who naturally have a deeper voice with a raspy sound, it can be found commonly with women who have smoked for many years. Since men usually have deeper voices anyway, it is not as noticeable. Throat cancer is common among smokers as well as mouth cancer among those who dip or chew tobacco.
Any way you look at it, smoking is a nasty, deadly habit that can never do you any good. Some heath issues from smoking can be corrected over time if you give it about ten years, but most smokers are lucky if they quit soon enough to have the time left for the body to heal. Many smokers will continue to smoke as long as they are able to lift their hands to their lips and hold a cigarette between their fingers. It is really very sad to say the least.
