"If I'd carried on smoking, I'd probably have died from a smoking-related illness, and I think that's really bad," the “Hello” singer, 27, told The Mirror. “If I was dying from lung cancer, I would have potentially given it to myself, and that wouldn't be something I'd be proud of."

The Grammy winner had been smoking 25 cigarettes a day, the Mirror reports, until she was forced to cancel shows in 2011 after losing her voice.

Last month, the 25 songstress — mom of 3-year-old son Angelo with partner Simon Konecki — opened up about quitting smoking to Rolling Stone, adding that her family played a larger role in her decision.

“I absolutely loved it [smoking], but it’s not that f–king cool when I’m dying from a smoking-related illness and my kid is, like, devastated,” she said.

The British star certainly has a lot to look forward to: She recently sold out tour dates in the United States, her first in five years, just a few weeks after announcing her European tour.
