Charlotte
Church Quits Smoking
Charlotte
Church
has quit smoking and admitted that the
25-a-day habit affected her
voice.
Charlotte,
20, has revealed that she gave up the
habit on New Year's Day.
The
opera singer-turned-pop star urged others
to do the same to mark No Smoking Day,
saying smoking "looks
disgusting".
The
Welsh 'Crazy Chick' said: "I smoked about
20 or 25 a day and I'd tried to give up a
couple of times before but only lasted
half a day. I decided to make it my New
Year's resolution, I just wanted to. Now
that I've stopped it's got so much better.
The first two weeks were tough and the
first month I still really missed it, but
I feel so much healthier now and can
really feel the difference in my
voice."
Charlotte
admitted: "I had two cigarettes on my
birthday in February but I got really ill.
It was horrible, and I won't smoke
since."
She said
of her health-conscious rugby star
boyfriend Gavin Henson: "He's not put any
pressure on me at all but he was really
happy when I did give up. I just wanted to
do it myself."
The
singer, who first shot to fame as a
classical singer at the age of just 12,
said: "I won't be drinking so much
anymore. All my friends are settled down
with boyfriends."
She said
she approved of a Government
ban on
smoking
in pubs: "I think it's really good. A lot
of social smokers never smoke in the week
but do in the weekends, and they won't be
able to now, and it's a much nicer
atmosphere."
