Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
A change in voice with past history of smoking has to be investigated with laryngoscopy by Ears, Nose, and Throat (ENT) doctor to rule out any pathology of vocal cords.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Manu Wilfred
