General Comment:Dear Mr. Zeller:

I am writing as an individual consumer to 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.

I feel very strongly about e-cigarettes as an alternative to combustible cigarettes. Quite simply, I firmly believe that they saved my life. I would only hope that as a former cigarette smoker who has tried for over 30 years to rid myself of that nasty habit, that others who are struggling to quit cigarettes have the same chance that I had with great success. That success was only achievable via electronic cigarettes.
I appreciate your consideration of my request and am happy to discuss this issue with you further.

Dave, the ex-cigarette smoker!
