Hello, you're about to listen to a BBC podcast, and I am Ed Gamble, host of another BBC

podcast, The Traitors Uncloaked. But my show is available only on BBC Sounds, just like

Ellis and John's Saturday bonus episodes, the Pop Top Ten podcast with Scott Mills and Rylen,

and comedy specials from the likes of Harriet Kemsley, Susie Ruffel and Romesh Ranganathan.

However, and maybe I'm biased, it's really all about the traitors uncoaked.

So for a whole bunch of exclusive scoops and podcasts, listen only on BBC Sounds.

Hello, thank you for listening to this edition of Inside Health. I hope you enjoy it.

Hello, coming up today, smart drugs, very popular at this time of year as an increasing number of students turn to them to help prepare for exams.

But what are they doing to their brains? And planning for a good death.

An inside health listener tells us he believes it's better to die earlier from heart disease than to go on to develop cancer later in life. Is he right? But first, have you heard this new ad? Even if you are driving on drugs, you've got no reason to be pulled over, do you? It's not like the drugs are affecting you. Anyway, you know these roads. And the police can't tell you've done drugs, can they? It's not like your eyes are red

or you're acting a bit strange. You'll be fine. Except from March 2nd, new laws will make it easier to

catch and convict you, leading to a criminal record, a minimum 12-month driving ban and a fine of

up to £5,000. Think. Don't take drugs and drive. You might think that would never apply to you. No sensible person could condone driving after taking cannabis, cocaine or heroin. But the new drug driving legislation which comes into force next week applies to some medicines too, particularly morphine-based painkillers taken by hundreds of thousands of people in the UK,

many of whom could inadvertently find themselves on the wrong side of the law.

Dr Cathy Stanard is a consultant in pain management at Southmead Hospital in Bristol.

I think the impact of this is very far reaching for healthcare professionals and for patients,

because it has really shown us the effects potentially that the drugs that we prescribe

are very frequently every day in our practice and that patients take in millions every year

have a significant impairing impact on driving,

and I think this is going to change the whole conversation

between prescribers and patients

and is going to very much affect patient and prescriber choices of drugs.
