Hi Nande, I'll give you a perspective as an ex-smoker and a singer. All of the prevoius advice is good. Do whatever you have to do to get clear of the nicotine. I smoked for 30+ years, thank God I still have a voice and am still here to tell you about it. It took me six serious tries to quit, but none of that matters. All that matters is that you just get clear of the nicotine- the addiction is deadly(yes -I know it's the other chemicals in the tobacco, but the nicotine keeps you coming back) Sadly, I just buried my best friend of 30+ years(some coincidence,huh?) after he died of lung cancer. I consider myself very lucky. Every day is a gift. So is singing.
Use it or lose it. Life is fragile. Sing- don't smoke! End of lecture....
Good luck Richard Meredith Baritone Quincy,MA USA
