A survey has found that lung cancer is on the rise among British women aged over 60, and that smoking is to be blamed for it.

For women aged over 80 the number of cases leaped from 800 in 1975 to more than 4,700 in 2008.
"Around nine in 10 cases of lung cancer are caused by smoking and one in five people still smoke," the Daily Express quoted Jean King, director of tobacco control at Cancer Research UK, as saying.
"So it's vital that work continues to support smokers to quit and protect young people from being recruited into an addiction that kills half of all long-term smokers," King added.
