General Comment:Dear Mr. Zeller:

I am writing to request that you please extend the comment period FDA's Proposed Rule Deeming Tobacco Products to be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Family Smoking and Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (the "Proposed Rule") published at 79 Fed. Reg. 23,142 and Federal Register No. 2014-09491. On behalf of myself, I am requesting that the comment period for the Proposed Rule be extended by the FDA for an additional 105 days, from its current 75-day period, to 180 days.

The Proposed Rule contains many questions/issues that I, as a consumer of these types of products, simply need more time to respond. The FDA had several years to construct this Proposed Rule and I believe the public should be allowed the courtesy of more time to break this down in order to answer after thorough thought and research. 

E-cigarettes have made a huge difference in my life; from the leaving "combustion tobacco" behind to the wonderful community of vapers that I have met both online and in person. 

I know you have the authority to do this extension, and it has been done before. Please consider this request to extend the comment period, as this is industry is in its infancy and we all want to see it done right the first time rather than going through the expense of having to do it again. 

Thank you for your time and consideration.
