Smoking remains one of the biggest causes of death and illness in the UK, causing around 78,000 people to die every year, according to the NHS.
It not only increases your risk of developing dozens of serious health conditions, some of which can be fatal, but it can also harm those around you. Back in 2007, a smoking ban came into force meaning you could no longer light up in enclosed public places like pubs, restaurants or on public transport.
But despite the ban and graphic warnings on packages people were not as quick to quit the habit as was first anticipated. According to Cancer Research UK, around four in 10 cancer cases are preventable through things like not smoking and keeping a healthy weight.
