Lana Del Rey often chooses to play outdoor festivals instead of indoor gigs because she can't get through a whole show without smoking.

The Summertime Sadness hitmaker admits she is an addict, and often plans her concert schedule around her habit.

She tells America's Complex magazine, "Dude, I have to (smoke on stage). I can't get through it (the show)... (I have been smoking) since I was 17. It's crazy. That's why I try to play mostly outdoor festivals... Because 45 minutes into the set, when you've still got 45 more minutes to go, you need to smoke."
