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

General Comment:I went from smoking a pack of cigarettes in 2 days to completely stopping with the help of vaping. My lungs have been strengthened, I don't smell like smoke, and I am no longer killing myself slowly with lung cancer. Vaping has helped me quit a habit that would eventually lead to long term health problems, and the last thing I want is for this to be taken over by tobacco companies. I've smoked tobacco for a year, and it is in no way, shape or form comparable to vaping. To classify vaping as a tobacco product would be criminal, and would destroy and industry that is growing in leaps and bounds. Vaping is important to me and I won't see it destroyed without having my say. 

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.
