Did Freddie ever quit smoking?

I ask b/c on Innuendo and Made in Heaven, his voice sounds crystal clear and his high notes are particularly rich and full. If he did quit smoking around what time did he do so? Would have been awesome to see him in concert judging by the way he sounded towards the end! I still love you too, Freddie!

Hey, knowing Freddie and his outrageous sense of humor and EXTREME lack of good taste at times, he's probably LHisAO in heaven! ;-)

It's only a few seconds at the begining of the greatest hits 2 video, you can see Freddie on the stage where they were recording him holding a cigarrete and making a gesture with his arms.

Yeah I remember that, he has his hand on a railing, and puffs on a cigarette at the same time.
