SMOKINGMonday 14 July 2003
Everybody knows that if you once start smoking it's extremely difficult to give up. Research published last week indicated that it's even harder for women to give up than it is for men - and judging by the number of female celebrities who have guiltily confessed their addiction to Jenni - there may be something in it.

Amanda Sandford is research manager at Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) and Petrie Hosken is a presenter on 5 Live's Wake Up Money. She gave up 6 weeks ago. Both join Jenni to discuss smoking and women.
