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.

The Proposed Rule concerns me and I wish to respond in greater length and detail.

I believe that electronic cigarettes have given several people important to me an alternative to combustible cigarettes. I firmly believe that they reduce the harm caused by nicotine addiction and I would like more time to prepare a detailed response to the Proposed Rule.

Thank you for your consideration.
