General Comment:Dear Mr. Zeller:

I am writing as an individual consumer to request an extension of the comment period for the Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") Proposed Rule Deeming Tobacco Products to be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Family Smoking and Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (the "Proposed Rule") published at 79 Fed. Reg. 23,142 and Federal Register No. 2014-09491. On behalf of myself, I am requesting that the comment period for the Proposed Rule be extended by the FDA for an additional 105 days, from its current 75-day period, to 180 days.

1. It's not enough time.
2. If you're going to regulate e-cigs which have killed no one, yet allow the sale and use of 'real cigarettes' which kill THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS EVERY YEAR, your priorities are screwed-up.
3. If e-cigs killed as many Americans per year as (an example) cosmetics do, I could see this. But they don't.

Thanks,
Jeff Pulice
