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

General Comment:One of my personal vices has been smoking, since about midway through 18. I stopped smoking cigarettes because I started tasting a markedly chemical difference so I switched to pipe tobacco, and from their to an electronic delivery system.

My personal vice now does not contaminate the air. The quality of the air is unaffected, there is no residual nicotine that anyone gets exposed to, the only health risks suffered from this version of nicotine consumption are assumed entirely by me and no one else.

I don't see why the government would restrict someone's personal lifestyle choices if it doesn't harm anyone else. That appears to me to be a  violation of my rights as a U.S. citizen, and I personally am not going to allow that to happen if I can prevent it.

 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.
