Coleen Nolan said she 'feared she was going to die' as she battled to breathe as a result of an acute chest infection she believes was worsened by her 40 year smoking habit

Singer and presenter Coleen Nolan has urged smokers to follow in her footsteps after she kicked the habit after 40 years of smoking.

"I smoked for about 40 years and was heavily influenced by my friends and family around me," she said. "At such a young age I wasn't aware of the health risks of smoking and soon found myself becoming addicted.""Following a recent health scare, I realised how precious life is and became determined to quit, not just for my own health, but so I can be there fully for my children and grandchildren. To anyone out there thinking of giving up smoking, my advice is do it.

Professor Sir Chris Whitty, England's chief medical officer, said: "Cigarettes kill. They cause at least 15 different types of cancers and increase your risk of developing more than 50 serious health conditions."
