She said: 'I used to get to the dressing room, and I'd be really breathless before I did anything. When you're addicted to smoking, it's hard to stop. I couldn't answer the phone without lighting up. Try your best to stop smoking and especially those youngsters coming up now who are starting to smoke. I want them to really try to not get addicted to tobacco because it's a killer.'", Bolton News, Feb. 8, '08
