A man who thought he had just "slept awkwardly" discovered he had suffered a stroke due to his £200 a month smoking addiction. Adam Watkins, 42, lost the ability to move his left side and struggled to speak after the sudden stroke at home last summer. His partner Laura Milford, 36, thought he was drunk when he started slurring but when his face started to droop while having a cigarette he was rushed to hospital.
