For the first time in the UK, more adults are va**ng than smoking — with around 5.4 million people using e-ci******es compared to 4.9 million smokers.
On this week's show I spoke to TV doctor and GP Dr Zoe Williams about the new TOTAL QUIT? campaign, which is urging the government to focus not just on quitting smoking, but quitting ni****ne altogether.
We discussed:
• Why va**ng has helped many people move away from ci******es
• The growing concern around children and youth va**ng
• Whether the long-term goal should be ni****ne-free living
• The support available for people need who want to quit

This week I was delighted to chat to Jaime Toff from the Compound Club in Lingfield talking about the many benefits of boxing, strength and resistance training.

Also to Emily Nuttall about why she became an ambassador for Grassroots Su***de prevention and her determination to complete the Brighton half marathon and the London marathon.

Emily completed the Brighton Half Marathon on 1st March 2026 and is going to do the TSC London Marathon on 26th April 2026. Grassroots is deeply personal to her, and she is a lived experience advocate. She has worked alongside the charity for two years using her experiences to help shape life changing projects
Grassroots provided support to Emily when she needed it most. Now she wants to give back and break the stigma around su***de and show others that recovery is possible - offering a message of hope through her challenge events.
