Recently, Amy Winehouse was in the news again. The singer, whose popular song “Rehab” topped the record charts, has been in and out of drug rehab herself. Winehouse has struggled with a highly publicized crack addiction as well as having an alcohol addiction. Now, the singer has been diagnosed with emphsyema so what does she do? She lights up a cigarette.

When people think of emphysema, they think of people smoking cigarettes, thinking that that is the main cause. However, smoking crack cocaine can be just as deadly. In the Winehouse’s case, the combination of smoking both cigarettes as well as crack has led to the 24 year-old singer having the lungs of an 80-year-old, according to doctors. Unfortunately for Winehouse, she provides a prime example of someone who has been struggling with addiction problems for quite some time and what NOT to do.

You would think that after collapsing several times due to what she viewed as being her “innocuous” drug habits, you would think that she would take things a little more seriously. However, despite the pleas from fans, family and friends, Winehouse is still failing to make the connection. While drug addiction recovery is never an easy path to follow, it seems that if you truly care about your health and well being, you will do everything you can to prevent drug addiction relapse, something that many hope Winehouse will take seriously before it is too late.
