General Comment:Dear Mr. Zeller,

As a user of electronic cigarettes, I am writing to request an extension of the comment period for the Food and Drug Administration'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. I am requesting that the comment period for the Proposed Rule be extended for an additional 105 days, from the current 75-day period.

From my understanding, the FDA took many years to come up with the Proposed Rule so I do not believe that it is unreasonable to allow the public six months for comments on all of questions and information that is in the Proposed Rule. I quit smoking cigarettes on March 15th, 2014 and I believe that they have changed my life for the better. I understand that under 21 CFR 10.40, the FDA has the power to extend the time frame of the comment period. I hope that you do so that all members have enough time to adequately respond to all of the questions posed in the Proposed Rule.

I would like to thank you for your consideration of my request.
