Ardent television viewers among you may recognise this woman.

Dawn Shindler is the star of the Pfizer life "Quit with help" advert, aimed at smokers. Ms Shindler, a smoker for more than 20 years - between 15 and 20 a day - gave up two years ago.

She spends the 30-second advert telling her story. The travel agent tells People: "I gave up when I was expecting my first grandchild.

"My son, who is very anti-smoking, said that if I didn't quit I couldn't come anywhere near the baby. So I went to my GP, who gave me some tablets for three months. I had unsuccessfully tried to use patches before but this time it worked. My friends can't believe that I've actually done it."
