But all the problems that I hear with her live voice such as constantly sounding out of breath and being unable to hold out notes is all a consequence of somebody who has been smoking too much. Her voice has also been getting consistently deeper which can also be a consequence of long term smoking. The ear can attribute to being off pitch, but not to the shortness of breath I don't think.
She might be just a social smoker though (or became social after being casual).
She did post a few months ago that she and her friends went to dinner and she took from her trainer a cigarette but threw it after 1 take.
