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

General Comment:Vaping has not only improved my health, it also improved the health of my wife.  We were both avid smokers for more than 10 years. I my self smoke 2 packs a day for 8 of those 10 years.  In the time I have been smoking electronic cigarettes I have stopped smoking tobacco products all together, and I have also been able to taper my nicotine intake to almost zero.  My physical health has improved, I can breathe better, taste my food, and my general quality of life has drastically improved.  I have no problems with regulating the e-cigarette industry with common sense regulations.  Regulations that will kill small business is not something that our country should be doing. We should be encouraging small business.  e-liquid should not be classified as a tobacco product. It should be classed as something similar to "the patch" or the gum that helps stop smoking. 

 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.

Please take this into consideration.
