Comment Info: =================

General Comment:I am an EX-cigarette smoker ... I smoked 3 packs a day for 49 years and nothing helped me to quit until I was pointed to e-cigarettes. I have been using e-cigarettes for 3 years now and my lungs are 100%. I no longer have COPD or any breathing problems and have not had a cold or flu since I quit in 2011. Switching to e-cigarettes has been the best thing health-wise that I have ever done. Putting age restrictions on the sale of these products is fine, but if you put onerous restrictions on this new industry it will only serve to hurt the consumer. This product should NOT be "prescription only" or any other hoops to jump through to obtain the products. This product HELPS people to quit smoking cigarettes. Why would you want to hinder that? 

Also: Please extend the comment period to give the industry ample time to respond to your lengthy requests from them. Give them a chance to have enough time to thoughtfully and fully comply to your requests.
