Actor PATRICK SWAYZE is still smoking cigarettes despite battling pancreatic cancer.
The Dirty Dancing star, 55, confirmed he is suffering from the potentially life-threatening disease earlier this month (Mar08) and is currently undergoing chemotherapy.
But the actor has refused to give up smoking - despite it being linked to a third of pancreatic cancers.
Photographs of the star looking pale, gaunt and puffing on a cigarette emerged in the British media on Friday (14March08).
However, Swayze's brother Don denies he smokes three packets a day - and insists he is fighting the disease like a "warrior".
