General Comment:ToWhom it May Concern:

These products have been instrumental to my ongoing commitment to quitting tobacco. I was never a heavy smoker, a pack a week, but after trying a vaporizer, I have stopped tobacco and now only vape twice a week. My journey to being tobacco free would not have happened if these products were not available and easily accessible. The majority of people who I have met who do vape, are fully aware of the risks they are taking but also thrilled that they are now taking the risks of tobacco off their minds. Vaping is not tobacco. It is a water vapor that is inhaled. They are not mutually exclusive.

 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.
