VOICE of an Angel Charlotte Church has quit smoking and admitted that the 25-a-day habit affected her voice.

Charlotte, 20, has revealed that she gave up the habit on New Year's Day.

The opera singer-turned-pop star urged others to do the same to mark No Smoking Day today, saying smoking "looks disgusting". She said: "I smoked about 20 or 25 a day and I'd tried to give up a couple of times before but only lasted half a day.

"I decided to make it my New Year's resolution - I just wanted to. In the last four or five months before I gave up it was affecting my voice, my breathing control, my tone, and I thought `What am I doing here?'

"Now that I've stopped it's got so much better. The first two weeks were tough and the first month I still really missed it but I feel so much healthier now and can really feel the difference in my voice."
