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

General Comment:My name is Tina Brown and this is my testimony as to how vaping has helped me to quit smoking. My husband first started vaping at the beginning of this year. I was very reluctant to start vaping myself. I fought it for about a month before he wore me down. I enjoyed smoking I actually loved it. I also found that I was shorter on breath and was sluggish every day. When I started vaping within a week I could breath better, I had more energy. I could actually go out and play with my kids and my dogs. I am proud to say I have no had a full cigarette in over five months. I can honestly say vaping probably saved my life. I have heard that many people are trying to say that e-cigs are more harmful than actual cigarettes. I don not see that as a truth. With the "juice" I know what is going into my lungs, with cigarettes I have no idea all of the chemicals and preservatives that the tobacco companies are adding. In short I am here to say I support e-cigs and vaping 100%. Thank you for your time and the time you hopefully take to read this statement.

 A 75 day comment period is insufficient time for the vaping industry and the wider vaping community to comment on the proposed deeming regulations. I would respectfully request that the period for comment be extended to 180 days.
