World renowned singer Amy Winehouse has been diagnosed with emphysema and may die at a very young age if she doesn’t change her out of control lifestyle.

Amy’s father, Mitch Winehouse, opened up about his daughter’s condition and the severity of the disease:

"The doctors have told her if she goes back to smoking drugs it won't just ruin her voice, it will kill her.

“The doctors have said that if she had continued the way she was going she could have ended up an invalid — she wouldn't have been able to breathe. She's got emphysema.

“It's in its early stages, but had it gone on for another month they painted a very vivid picture of her sitting there like an old person with a mask on her face struggling to breathe.

“With smoking the crack cocaine and the cigarettes, her lungs are all gunked up. There are nodules around the chest and dark marks. She's got 70 percent lung capacity.

“If she doesn't go back to drugs, then she can lead this magnificent life.

“We are praying that that's what Amy really wants. She seems resolute."

Emphysema is an irreversible, degenerate condition that will live with the patient forever. According to emphysema.org, quitting smoking is the single most important factor to help cope with this disease.

If Amy, 24, is serious about her career (and her life, for that matter), it is imperative that she stop smoking cigarettes (and crack) and focus on maintaining a better lifestyle.

But for the rehabbed star, that might be easier said than done.

Do you think that Amy Winehouse can successfully kick her cigarette and crack cravings – or is Wino headed down a path of destruction?
