I had my last cigarette on 2nd January 2013. Not had one since, have saved a small fortune as I smoked 20 a day at £7 a pack, don't feel a whole lot better healthwise yet but I've no doubt it will happen at some point. I never...

Stiletto You know I have tried to stop before years ago and I tried gum but just couldn't get along with it - it gave me bad hiccups and made me feel a bit sick. I started off substituting the occasional cigarette with my e-cig and then just decided I would never stop...

Stiletto I think you have to really want to stop smoking and I think the problem in the past is that I've tried to stop but really haven't committed to it 100%. It's a habit I really wished I had never started in the first place. Wow I'm so pleased to see you on...

So I watched this movie last night on TV. Dreams of a Life - a true story about Joyce Vincent, a 38 year old woman who apparently died while watching TV alone in her London flat, and her body lay undiscovered for 3 years. Finally...

Stiletto The dying alone part is bad enough, but I think the whole thing of only being found 3 years later is just so sad, particularly with someone so young.

Stiletto I haven't dropped strength yet but I'm going to. I'm on 16mg menthol so will drop down next time I buy some and then aim for the nicotine free. But you know I do actually enjoy the smoking part of it - even if it isn't smoking tobacco. I think the nicotine is...

Stiletto Oh well my weight is a big concern for me because I could already do with losing a fair bit of weight and can't afford to gain anymore. I haven't so far but I'm making a real effort not to eat more sweet stuff than I did before. I have a sweet tooth though and...

Stiletto It definitely is a killer - I have asthma in my family, although thank goodness I don't suffer from it, and I've seen at first hand how serious a condition it is.

Stiletto Well they don't know because she was basically just a skeleton when they found her so a proper autopsy was impossible. She was asthmatic and had been hospitalised for a bad asthma attack possibly not long before she died (although of course the exact date of...

Stiletto I like the idea of people calling each other every morning - I guess elderly people are more realistic about this sort of thing whereas younger people don't want to think about the possiblity of anything like that happening

Stiletto It sounds like you have more of a community feel in your neigbourhood which is a good thing. At least your neighbours talk to each other.

Stiletto Yes people either don't want to get involved or else they are just pretty useless in emergency situations I'm afraid. Tell me about neighbours shouting and screaming. Mine were at it from about half five this morning. They do have quite young kids I guess but...

Stiletto She had family (four older sisters and a father) and the movie that was made about her included comment from co-workers and friends but all from maybe 2001 and earlier. They found her in 2006 and estimate that she died in 2003, but the last year or so of her...

Stiletto Ah-ha - good point! I had forgotten about all that. Well it serves them right if they are losing out. If they read this they might shape up a bit.

Stiletto Well the thing is the autopsy really couldn't determine cause of death because she had basically decomposed almost completely and was really just a skeleton. So it's possible it could have been foul play or suicide for that matter. She was asthmatic and had...

Stiletto My neigbourhood is like that too - it's all very impersonal and people don't get involved with each other, which I think is a real shame but very common nowadays unfortunately.

Stiletto I think that's what most people found so shocking about this story - the fact that she wasn't old. It's still very sad if it's an elderly person but it is unfortunately often the case that they become very socially isolated, and things like this do happen....

Stiletto Thanks - it is heavy and it took me a bit of time to get used to it. It behaves like a real cigarette but it doesn't really feel like one. It's a good substitute though and definitely cheaper than the real thing!
