Thank You Aaron! I recently came across Your Podcast, ever since I frequently listen to Your voice when I am on the road. I especially connected with the broadcast with Peter Crone, when he was guiding You to the roots of Your Nicotine usage. It had me thinking, and I can still not leave the stuff alone. Could You maybe make an update how You have been faring with the new insights?
