I received story today from Cindy. It touched me enough that I wanted to share it with you as well. Cindy agreed to allow me to post it, and I thank her for that. This is why I would like the pipe to go to a good home.
Dear Phil,
Good morning. Just wanted to write after watching your review. I’m not entering the contest, but wanted to share a story with you. The one person (besides myself…for being a follower) who got me hopelessly hooked on smoking was my ex-husband. He smoked like a fiend so I did, too. When he was in his early 20’s he decided that smoking a pipe was cool and used it as well. He used to walk around with that thing constantly and bought several, adding to his collection until he had at least 10 different styles. When we divorced in 1986 he was still going strong.
At 44, in June of 2000, on his way to work one day, he suffered a massive heart attack and passed away. When I saw your review today I couldn’t help thinking, as you did, that if we had vaping then…it may very well have saved his life. If things had turned out differently and he was still alive, I would be submitting this as an entry to hopefully send to him (anonymously, of course) and get him off the analogs.
Thank you for all you do to help educate people. I know you’ve been instrumental in helping people to quite that nasty analog habit. Keep it up.
Cindy
