General Comment:I started smoking Cigarettes when I was a teenager and tried to quit many times over a period of 18 years.  I've used the patch, Nicorette gum, Zyban prescription and even tried a hypnatist.  I used to have coughing fits in the morning that were so bad I would sometimes dry heave.  Other times the fits would be bad enough to induce a migraine.  I decided to try an Ecig and quit smoking in Dec 2010.  Within the first 2 weeks of switching i went through some withdrawals, There was obviously more than just nicotine in the Marlboro's I used to smoke.  I won't lie It wasn't an easy switch but it was far easier than anything else I had tried.

Today I still use My Ecig,  I use juices in varying strengths from 6-18mg and I prefer tobacco flavors.  I don't have coughing fits or any coughing really, when I wake up in the morning I feel good and I can run with no shortness of breath.

I feel many of the proposed regulations will only succeed in hurting the industry and keeping many smokers from ever attempting to switch to Ecigs.  I know it has added years back to my life.

Minors have no business using Ecig products just as they have no business smoking cigarettes.  This should be enforced just like tobacco sales to minors.
