Hi Phil – I hope all is well with you. I want to thank you for everything you have done, endured, and taught over the last 4 years that I’ve known you (electronically, that is). In 2 weeks, it’ll be 4 years being smoke free, after a 16 year, 30 a day habit. I had tried to quit several times – and like many – failed. I enjoyed smoking and my tobacco habit covered everything from cigarettes, to roll-your-own, to pipes and cigars. Patches and gum never worked for me. I thought, at the time, that I was going to die smoking, and had resigned to that fact.
I had heard about electronic cigarettes and when I started doing some research, I stumbled across one of your reviews. Based on your openness, straightforward, manner. I decided to give it a try. I was skeptical at first, but kept at it, finding something that worked for me. Two weeks later, I had “accidentally” quit. Not quite trying hard (like I had to with patches or gum), simply by being. There’s nothing that I can write that can express the gratitude I have for someone like you.
Your videos, your continued support to the community, and all that you do for us is something that I greatly appreciate. You, along with Dimitris, inspired me to open a shop in Costa Rica, where, indirectly, both of you have helped over a 1,000 people to switch.
If there’s anything we can ever do for you, please let us know, even if it’s just being your hosts here in Costa Rica.
Cheers,
Rodolfo
