Renfrewshire's Provost has lifted the lid on kicking her smoking habit in a bid to spur on those struggling to give up.
Lorraine Cameron has revealed since she first picked up a cigarette at the tender age of 14, she found herself in a cycle of "half-heartedly" trying to quit and failing for 36 years.
She said managed to ditch fags four times when she was pregnant, but every time she would always go back to them afterwards.
