John Campbell Senior lecturer in Nursing Studies, St Martin’s College, Carlisle

In the USA, some individuals are taking the giants of the tobacco industry to court and winning. Last month, Patricia Henley, 53, a lifelong smoker suffering from inoperable lung cancer won $51 million dollars (£31.7m) from Philip Morris, makers of Marlboro.
