This article focuses only on second hand smoke and cancer, and it's full of glaring inaccuracies. But I bet he made a load of money selling his rubbish book to people who enjoy having the wool pulled over their eyes! ;-)

No idea about cancer but the three big ones for narrowing the arteries are supposed to be saturated fat, stress and nicotine. If you can't give up smoking completely then perhaps with eCigs the lack of tar to the lungs means more oxygen in the blood and a bit less strain on the heart?

Vaporisers were popular a few years ago but were expensive and didn't give a proper 'hit'.


When I gave up smoking I used the sprays for a while but they were harsh and unpleasantly 'minty' so just gritted teeth and whined a lot. 21 months smoke free so far.

    • I also wonder if all this, recently events and so many u turns is going to also be the end of Kier Starmer.
    • And I replied: Mandelson and Trump have much in common. They are both shallow, vulgar and vain. They both fetishise wealth and power, irrespective of who holds it or how it was accumulated. They were both close friends and associates of the late Jeffrey Epstein and have moved in the same circles, as Ghislaine Maxwell’s address book allegedly confirms. Recognising another who is utterly transactional and lacking in a moral compass, there’s every chance of “Petie” fitting right in Mar-a-Largo. That Starmer couldn’t anticipate that Mandelson’s past behaviour would be problematic just proves how inept this government is.
    • Can't agree with that because he is a superb communicator - a really smart and  smooth talker. He studied PPE at Oxford and was communications director for Labour for many years.  Setting aside the "minor"  indiscretions during his time in government he has all the smoothness and ability to flatter Trump without appearing obsequious. Plus he can manage and exploit  Trump’s ego. He is highly polished socially, comfortable in elite circles, skilled at making personal connections. He can flatter and disarm, which is a useful tactic with Trump, who responds well to personal respect and praise. As a former EU Trade Commissioner and Cabinet minister, Mandelson understands international relations, trade, and diplomacy. He knows how to frame issues in terms of “wins” that Trump could claim credit for. I honestly hope that he survives.  
    • He is toast  he should never have been appointed  and starmer flannelling about all of this shows exceptionally poor judgement  a disgrace all around
