If you’re one of those people who have yet to kick the cigarette habit despite the health risks, we may have just found something that may finally put you off smoking altogether.

"People buying cheap cigarettes might think they are getting a great deal - but the truth is that they're not," she said.
"If they knew what they might contain, they might think twice about buying them".
