As one of my favorite authors, I must implore you to take care of your health John. Douglas Adam's writing dramatically declined after his death and I'm still feeling bereft.

I'm glad you made it to the doctor and that I didn't need to read about a different version of this in the news. Take care.

That book was a very good book. My favourite of yours so far. I’m glad you didn’t die. (This seems like an underwhelming thing to say to you). Ok; I’m VERY glad.

I didn’t know you have a blog. Saw you in Darwin earlier this year and it was cool

Yeah bro, quit that shit! I quit last year, listened to The Easy Way To Stop Smoking on audiobook, it was almost like hypnotherapy. When I was reading Puff Piece, I was glad you were doing the expose, but I was afraid for you; I could hear you getting sucked in throughout the course of the book. Don’t see many IQOSs around though. Maybe you had an impact?

I'm a young 'un (well, two years younger than you), and I developed angina about a decade ago (brought on by stress: fraught domestic situation, that, thankfully, I'm not in anymore), but, being young, it didn't occur to me that *that* was what was going on. I'm very grateful that medical professionals got through to you - we need you to be a fantastically cranky-but-hilarious old codger author, JS! Keep listening to them med professionals :-)
