Swayze is challenging his prognosis and continues to smoke during his battle with pancreatic cancer, reports Starpulse.com.
Swayze, 56, was diagnosed with cancer last April. At that time, it was rumoured that he had only a few months left to live. However, the star has responded well to treatments and is now back at work.
New photos of Swayze taken during the shoot of the television series, The Beast, show the actor smoking during his breaks.
Health specialists advise cancer patients to quit smoking.
