Chilean miners, save a life today and kicking the habit

Today you can find out how you can help save someone's life by becoming a bone marrow donor. A Suffolk woman tells James why she's relying on the kindness of a stranger.

The dramatic release of the Chilean miners has been followed all over the world. James finds out your own personal stories of being rescued.

We've all heard about the Anthony Nolan Trust and the need for bone narrow donors - but how important are they?

James will be talking to two Suffolk families who know exactly how important they are - one woman who's waiting, and one who's son has recently had one.

How much packaging is there on your shopping? A major supermarket has narrowly escaped a court case over the amount of plastic and polystyrene on its pre-packed beef. James wants to know whether you think our retailers use too much packaging.

Smokers are always being encouraged to give up their habit for their health - but there's another very good reason why people give up - money. A packet of cigarettes isn't cheap and more people are finding they just can't afford to smoke.
