Amy Winehouse caught again
Wednesday, 25 June 2008
Amy Winehouse has been caught smoking - even though she is still in hospital recovering from severe lung problems.
Last week, the singer's worried dad Mitch Winehouse told reporters the star was suffering from deadly lung disease emphysema, which has been caused by her wild lifestyle.
Mitch Winehouse went on to admit he had got the diagnosis incorrect - insisting she was only suffering from traces of the killer condition, but it could develop if she continues with her heavy smoking habit.
He said: "Amy really hasn't got emphysema. There's traces of emphysema. Obviously, if she doesn't quit smoking it's gonna get worse - as with everybody else.
Mitch insists the Back to Black star is determined to get well, saying: "She's smothered in nicotine patches. She's responding brilliantly to treatment. She's actually flourishing."
However, making a rare public appearance on her way to rehearsals for her appearance at Glastonbury the 24-year-old was photographed smoking a cigarette while being driven to the venue, reports Us Weekly.com.
The star has been warned if she continues with her tobacco habit it will severely jeopardise her future as a singer.
Dr. Keith Prowse, chairman of the British Lung Foundation, says: "Emphysema is extremely common but it generally affects middle-aged and elderly people.
"Smoking is the commonest cause, and it's basically destruction of the lungs so that oxygen cannot get into them."
