Yep, she smokes like a chimney.  Well, as of last report, anyway.
The "goddess" is distressingly human when you get right down to the 
brass tacks.  Some folks even get disturbed when the subject comes up.  
It is, after all, her life.  Still, you hate to see such a gift abused
with cigarettes.  

If you listen to the music and doubt that her smoking is having any 
affect, don't.  It's much easier to handle the degradations of smoking 
in a studio where breath control is less of an issue.  On stage may be 
a different matter.  In fact, in preparing for a tour, especially one 
that includes dance, Kate may come to realize that after smoking for 
fifteen years (or so) she can't handle the same things she could when
she had been smoking for only four (or so).  Perhaps this will finally
move her to quite once and for all.  I sure hope so.

Yes, there are instances of singers smoking for years with no affect 
on their singing.  Just pray that Kate is one of those.
