General Comment:Dear Mr. Zeller:

I  request an extension of the comment period for the Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") 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 asks about a hundred different questions I might want to respond to. I only just today got this document converted into Kindle format so I can read it “on the go” and I work full time, in addition to having responsibilities for my mother and grandchildren.

Really, if it took you that many years to come up with the document, I think ½ year is very reasonable.

I believe access to a wide range  of e-cigarette products is critical to keep me from going back to smoking, which is still a temptation for me.  For the first time in 40 years, my kids can't find me in the store by following the sound of my coughing, and I can climb stairs.

Thank you for listening, and I will do my best to provide relevant and intelligent comments as I have time to do so.

Sincerely,
Jan XXXXXX
