I breathe not unlike a horse, lol. I can see how being a smoker would be similar.

That made me laugh.
Before I quit, I couldn't make it through two or three vocal lines and I'd cough for two minutes, and it would sound terribly weak. I'm really glad I quit in 2013, I'm not even a real singer but my vocals vastly improved and I at least have some power back where everything was strained and breathy before - I'm still a little pitchy but that's because I'm not a real singer. I'm pretty sure there's at least one or two collab songs I posted back then and I can still hear me struggling - Bruce's Spirit in the Night is one of them if memory serves - talk about lots of words to sing as a smoker.
Good luck!

Edit: I can't say how much I appreciate your doing this for real and not faking it in post/mix/autotune etc. btw. I prefer to hear people not machines.
