Abstract

Objective

To investigate the effect of heated-cigarette smoking on voice.

Methods

Participants completed a survey including three sections: section-1 comprised demographic data, section-2 comprised visual analogue scale grading of voice changes and fatigue and section-3 consisted of the voice handicap index-10.

Results

Two hundred and eighty-two participants filled the survey. Heated-cigarette smokers had a significantly higher mean voice handicap index-10 score compared to non-smokers (p < 0.05). The difference in voice handicap index-10 scores between heated- and combustion-cigarette smokers was not statistically significant. The number of abnormal voice handicap index-10 scores was higher in heated-cigarette smokers compared to non-smokers (p < 0.05) and significantly higher in combustion-cigarette and dual heated- and combustion-cigarette smokers compared to the other 2 groups (p < 0.05). Non-smokers had significantly lower grades of voice changes and fatigue when compared to combustion and dual heated- and combustion-cigarette smokers (p < 0.05).

Conclusion

Smokers of heated cigarettes have a significantly higher mean voice handicap index-10 score compared to non-smokers and higher grade of voice changes and fatigue.
