On screen, the cigarette looked like glamour. Off screen, it was slowly taking them.
A soap legend pretending she had a sore foot at Buckingham Palace so nobody would see how ill she was. A film star who lost his voice and kept working while another actor spoke his lines. A Beatle who said in his own words where his cancer came from. And a much-loved sitcom star who, two weeks before he died, said simply: "It's totally my fault."
From Laurence Harvey, Michael Williams, Fred Trueman and Les Gray to Bernard Youens, Bill Tarmey, Liz Dawn, Roy Castle, Boris Karloff, Les Dawson, Harry H. Corbett, Stanley Baker, Jack Hawkins, George Harrison and Richard Briers, these are fifteen stars whose lives were shaped, and in many cases cut short, by a habit that was once completely normal. Every story comes from obituaries, family statements and the stars' own words.

A smoking workmate died age 50. Another boasted late fifties that it never harmed him. Next year he lost his voice and 2 years later he was dead.
Smoking if done properly kills half of all users. An expensive way to die.
