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

General Comment:My name is Patrick Hamilton, I am a veteran of OIF/OEF serving honorably in the Army.  I smoked from the time I was 16 till the age of 25.  I discovered the electronic cigarette and have not smoked real cigarettes in a year and a half since I've started vaping.  I believe the proposed regulations would block my ability to vape and may eventually lead me back to using cigarettes which have been proven to be much more dangerous to everybody's health. I believe that my right to chose between vaping and real cigarettes is being infringed upon and as a veteran I find this disturbing. 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
