Adele may have completely overhauled her lifestyle but it took some serious soul-searching after she revealed how dangerous her pack-a-day smoking habit was.

ā€œIf Iā€™d carried on smoking, Iā€™d probably have died from a smoking-related illness, and I think thatā€™s really bad,ā€ the 27-year-old told The Daily Mirror about her former habit.

ā€œIf I was dying from lung cancer, I would have potentially given it to myself, and that wouldnā€™t be something Iā€™d be proud of,ā€ she added.

The Hello hitmaker, who underwent throat surgery in 2011, revealed she used to smoke an average of 25 cigarettes per day.

Doctors advised her that if she didnā€™t quit smoking immediately she would have to say goodbye to her a career, which has since broken every imaginable music record.

But there was also another much more important reason the mum-of-one gave up smoking, she of course wanted to live a long and full life for her three-year-old son Angelo.

ā€œI absolutely loved it, but itā€™s not that fā€”ing cool when Iā€™m dying from a smoking-related illness and my kid is, like, devastated,ā€ she told The Rolling Stone in October.

Flaws and all, we love you Adele!
