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

General Comment:My name is Michael I have been a smoker for over 10 years recently as of July 2013 I converted to vaping as an alternative my nicotine use. As a medical professional I have personally seen the benefits to vaping vs traditional tobacco. My overall O2 saturation has drastically increased. The current FDA proposal will not only cause independent owners to close shop but will place vaping into the hands of the very tobacco corporations that are the causes of millions of tobacco related deaths every year.

Due to what I believe is miss information and media driven propaganda the general public has ostracized the vaping community. Im asking that a fair assessment is thoroughly done before the current broad sword proposal is finalized.
I have greatly benefited from vaping and it is my belief that millions more can benefit too.

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.
