The Welsh singer, 68, also said he never consumed excessive amounts of alcohol to ensure that he preserved his deep voice.
"I like to drink - I'm not a bloody alcoholic but I love good wine and beer and British pubs," he told Uncut.
"But I won't drink to the point where I hurt my instrument, my voice."
He continued: "I never bothered with drugs because I saw what was happening. Cocaine and all that s**t, you'd see entertainers in the toilet - it didn't look attractive to me. And smoking joints smelled bloody foul."
Jones releases new single 'If He Should Ever Leave You' on November 10.
