Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The smoking can worsen the laryngitis, since it creates vasoconstriction and applies heat over the mucosa, this irritates the mucosa and result in inflamation. So better not to smoke during any infection in the oral cavity. Do saline gargling. You can take a course of antibiotics for the laryngitis, preferable azithromycin.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
