Long term crack addict's voice?

[Krowsnose]

Has anyone noticed how a lot of crack addicts have this same voice they do sometimes.

I didn't really notice it until watching guys like Bling Bling and then hearing people on the street who sounded a hell of a lot like him.

Now I see this guy who confirms it even more http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xs1oOSF9-uE

and here's Bling bling for comparison

is this something crack related or what? and why does it happen?

You know I think it has to do with just the act of smoking it and it effecting your lungs. From the couple of time I have free based coked I dont think it was that pleasant on the lungs. But when you are going that fast who gives a fuck, right?

What a trip. I know a dude who sounds EXACTLY like the one in the first clip. I would assume that the harsh chemicals added during cooking can cause damage to the nose, throat, mouth, lungs, etc.

"the throat becomes raw, causing extreme coughing or hoarseness in the voice, the lungs become weak from serious use, causing the user shortness of breath"
