Information
Produced and presented by Amelia Nurse.
After 17 years of smoking, Amelia Nurse is sick of people telling her she should stop. She’s sick of all the health warnings, sick of standing outside in the cold, sick of coughing, and sick of feeling guilty every time she lights up. Starting in February 2007, she sets the slow wheels of change in motion – and keeps an audio record.
