Cancer death inspires family to quit smoking.

EIGHT people who smoked more than 7000 cigarettes a month between them have kicked the habit after the mother at the heart of their family died of lung cancer.

Jean Bourne, 63, from south Derbyshire, died in February after being nursed for eight months by her husband Graham and their daughters.

Since her death, Mr Bourne, 68, and daughters Tracey, 45, Christine, 43, and Helen, 42, have all given up

So too has Mr Bourne's 17-year-old grand-daughter Stacey Richmond, his son-in-law John Smith, 44, grandson Stephen Smith, 21, and the girlfriend of grandson Danny Smith, Kayleigh Robinson, 23.

The family now saves £1820 a month thanks to the 12-week stop-smoking programme run by the Derbyshire County Primary Care Trust.

Mr Bourne, a former miner, said: "The cancer was a terrible thing and I never want to see it again.

"Now I don't let anybody smoke in the house. Jean would be so proud."

Stacey said: "I want to give up because my nan died and I'm pregnant so I really want to do it."

The family used to smoke between 15 and 40 cigarettes each everyday and used nicotine patches, inhalers and gum to quit.
