I Hate That Gaga Smokes

[Poope MOnster 1,446]

Adele, 23, insists that it's not smoking that has caused her health problems but it was more about her constant chatting that strained her voice.

"Smoking is not the reason I got laryngitis – it was because I was talking too much," she told The Sun. "I damage my voice offstage, not onstage. Onstage I am fine as apparently I am technically great, but when I talk I damage my voice big time. I have got screwed into giving up smoking."

The singer, who has been forced to cancel 10 shows in the US following her illness also added: "If I wasn't a singer I still would be smoking 25 a day. Smoking is my favourite thing to do in the world, I am gutted I have had to give up"

She also added: "But I have been tough – no patches, no gum, no hypnotism. It f****** sucks."

“I gave up smoking for two months,” she said. “It was f***ing grim. I had laryngitis about a week before the album came out and it was so frightening. I stopped smoking, drinking, eating or drinking citrus, spicy foods and caffeine. It was so f***ing boring…”

She continued: “When my album went to number one [in the UK] and in America, I just sat in my room and watched telly because I couldn’t go out and talk to anyone! My voice was better when I wasn’t smoking. Within a week I noticed it had changed, but I’d rather my voice be a bit s**t so I can have a f***ing laugh.”

I was just starting to like you a lot and then you bashed queen blondie 

honey- i love blondie- but her vocals are no where near what they use to be- thou shalt no be delusional!

[Katsuki Bakugo 9,788]

Nah. Look at her singing in Oscar

the fact no one in this fanbase understands a joke- but still the damage is done- one puff is enough to cause cancer...

Meh many people can get away with even few cigs a day so she will be fine. She's naturally strong and energetic.

Gaga's selling point is her voice. I'm pretty sure she is aware of the effects of smoking and if it was a real threat, she would have stopped. She is very hard working and disciplined and if it was a problem, then she would act on it. It clearly isn't as big of a problem as people make it out to be. She's not stupid.

I hate it too, it's no good for her voice.

If she gonna be pregnant, she will have to quit.

I also hate that Gaga smokes and drinks. But, I really hate that she defends her bad habits. I remember during a C2C performance while singing Lush Life she said that she drinks but she is grateful because the one thing that never goes is her voice. First of all, I think she has already damaged her voice. Her technique and power in her voice has improved greatly through the years. But, if you listen to Gaga sing "Captivated" when she was 19 or so, you can tell her voice used to sound a lot clearer than it does now. She sounded very clear, healthy, and beautiful at the Oscars but it took her a lot of time to get her voice to sound that way. I don't think the way she sounded at the Oscars is natural to her anymore.  I don't think she could replicate that performance on a regular basis. I don't know much about singing so I could be wrong. I'm just going by what I am noticing. Feel free to correct me if you know more.

Also, Gaga is still young. I know she feels like she is older because she has had so many experiences, but the truth is she is in her twenties. Most of the damage that she has done to her voice in the past and currently will not show up until her mid to late 30s and 40s. If she wants to have a singing career well into her 50s and 60s, she has to take extremely good care of her voice. Even people who take perfect care of their voices, progressively sound worse as they age. There is nothing that can prevent this but smoking, drinking, singing with improper technique, shouting excessively, ect, speeds up vocal decline massively.

Everyone needs a vice or two. I'd rather her indulge in smoking than fall into a slightly excessive coke habit or turn herself into a dope by constantly smoking weed again.

Whitney screwed her voice due to smoking crack and all the other hard d--gs she did for decades. 

Gaga is on her way if she doesn't stop

[Sugarfall 3,723]

Me too, smoking is a big part of why Britney's voice got even worse than what it was in the 1st place.

[Whispering 18,865]

Gaga is on her way if she doesn't stop

No, she is not. Gaga has not done crack c-----e and hard d--gs for years. 

Gaga doesn't have to stop doing hard d--gs, like the ones Whitney did for decades, because she isn't doing them in the first place.

If she gonna be pregnant, she will have to quit. 

This is when Pink quit.

Why do so many fans think she's a social smoker? We've seen her smoking tons of times over the years. I've seen her smoke in dressingrooms, during fittings, (phone)meetings, parties. I feel she started as a teen and she's a legit smoker. Social smokers are a very rare if you ask me.

I do feel she might smoke more to stop cravings, like many of my friends who smoke and want to stay in shape.

Maybe she'll quit for good when she becomes pregnant, till then I'm not counting on it.

I do wish shed glamourize it a tad less like she does lately on Instagram.

I think so too. I used to skip lunch and have 2 cigs and a diet coke and I lost so much weight. I looked sick. So there's a ****ed up diet right here.
