## I. Background

                        On September 17, 2014, FDA announced a public workshop to gather information about e-cigarettes and the public health (Electronic Cigarettes and the Public Health; Public Workshop; 79 FR 55815, September 17, 2014, Docket No. FDA-2014-N-0001). The focus of the workshop is product science (specifically device designs and characteristics, and e-liquid and aerosol constituents), product packaging, constituent labeling, and environmental impact. FDA intends to follow the first workshop with two additional e-cigarette workshops; one on individual health effects and one on population health effects. As stated in the                         **Federal Register**                         notice of the public workshop, the workshops are not intended to inform the Agency's deeming rulemaking. The workshops are intended to better inform FDA about these products. Should the Agency move forward as proposed to regulate e-cigarettes, additional information about the products would assist the Agency in carrying out its responsibilities under the law.                    

## II. Submission of Comments

                        Regardless of attendance at the public workshop, interested parties are invited to submit comments, supported by research and data, regarding e-cigarettes and the public health. Information related to workshop presentations and discussion topics, including specific questions to be addressed at the workshop, can be found at                         *http://www.fda.gov/​TobaccoProducts/​NewsEvents/​ucm238308.htm.*

                        Interested persons may submit either electronic comments to this docket at                         *http://www.regulations.gov or*                         written comments to the Division of Dockets Management (see                         **ADDRESSES**                        ). It is only necessary to send one set of comments. Identify comments with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document. Received comments may be seen in the Division of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, and will be posted to the docket at                         *http://www.regulations.gov.*
