hambling gave up smoking in 2004 and was involved in the campaign against the total ban on smoking in public places in england which took effect on 1 july 2007. speaking at a news conference at the house of commons on 7 february 2007, she said: "i wholeheartedly support the campaign against a ban on smoking in public places. just because i gave up at 59, other people may choose not to. there must be freedom of choice, something that is fast disappearing in this so-called free country." she took up smoking again on her 65th birthday but only 'the ones that smell of toothpaste'.
