    If you, or someone you know, is finding it difficult to give up (as I did), then give this a go. It is like a magic pill! Unfortunately it is only available on prescription and that means it cannot be advertised. The name is Champix. I tried everything else - from acupuncture and hypnotism to all...

    Hi Ellie, Don't beat yourself up, you're not a failure, you've just slipped a bit on your pedestal! I think you're brilliant for going a whole year without a fag after so many years as a smoker. I'm on the same journey as you: I was diagnosed with stage 2b NSCLC in February but...

    I slept! I actually slept. The road to this blissful unconsciousness last night was possibly the longest, bumpiest, volatile one I've ever taken for a good nights sleep. But it was sleep. It started of innocuous enough. (Doesn't it always) with arriving home after yesterdays duel with...

    Is it easier knowing that the end is coming or not? Is it easier because you can prepare? You have a chance to say your final goodbyes. Last touches, last hugs, last kisses? Or is it easier having the proverbial plaster ripped off in one swift painful movement. I don't know. Part of me wants...

    When we are told that smoking is one of the main causes of bladder cancer. I for one thought, I gave up smoking 40 years ago.
