From Doug

Phil, you and Provari were so instrumental in beginning my journey to kick a 27 year pack to pack and a half a day Marlboro Red habit that I never in a million years imagined I would ever conceive of myself ever quitting. Cigarettes were such a ridiculously large part of my life as I watched it take 1 relative after another while blindly believing it would never happen to me. Blindly believing the heavy chest, coughing fits, and inability to climb a short set of steps without running out of breath. I remember the checkups with the doctor giving me 1 suggestion after another with drugs, patches, gums, lozenges, and inhalers to try for quitting with one failed attempt after another. Finally there is a technology that has worked! I haven’t had a cigarette in 3 years. My wife hasn’t had to nag me about the stink, febreeze my clothes, and constantly worry about what the cigarettes were doing to my health. I watch these commercials to prompt us all to quit smoking while watching my Government try to remove the one thing that has worked to get me off of cigarettes because you and I know they are losing too much tax money and the Big Tobacco lobby is muscling them to think their way.

I have said it before, and I will continue to say it…..keep up the great work! You provide such an important service in your entertaining style of education. Keep using your voice to educate the vendors on their marketing and child proof caps. You have no idea how the strength of your voice has made this world a better place as one smoker at a time puts the cigarettes down and picks up their first device.

Thank you SO much for what you do.
