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

General Comment: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.  I am requesting that the FDA extend the comment period for the Proposed Rule for an additional 105 days (from its current 75-day period) to 180 days.

As someone who used e-cigarettes to quit smoking, this matter is very important to me. Given the length and complexity of the proposed regulations, more time is needed to analyze them in order to provide cogent and relevant comments.  As this is  a matter of vital importance to me and other consumers, I request the FDA to exercise its authority under 21 CFR 10.40 to extend this time frame, 

Thank you for your consideration of this request..
