Ellie Goulding quits smoking

British singer Ellie Goulding is determined to stub out her cigarette habit in the New Year (13).

The Lights hitmaker previously managed to quit smoking, but she started up again in 2012 after hitting the road for a series of concert dates.

Now the pop star is determined to give up cigarettes once and for all, in a bid to protect her voice.

She tells Britain's The Sun newspaper, "It's easy to get into the habit on tour. There's so much waiting around, so many opportunities to smoke. I've stopped now - but I still love a drink."
