hi
raspy or hoarse voice in a chronic smoker should be evaluated at the earliest,
if ENT surgeon is not available, then quit smoking and take steam inhalation through the mouth
kindly keep us posted with your course

Hi.
First you stop smoking as this may cause the keratinisation of vocal cords and affects the voice function. secondly voice can be corrected to some extent by removing this keratinisation from vocal cords by laser theraphy and post surgery peach theraphy, consult ENT surgeon with experiance in laser treatment.
Take care
