General Comment:I am having a hard time getting through the deeming regulations and grasping what all of this means. The time frame to respond to such a huge decision and comments on your deeming regulations is near impossible for someone to read and reread to get understanding of what exactly i'm commenting on. As you can see im not a witty reader or writer. This is going to take me months to get an understanding of.   “A 75 day period time to review the proposed regulations is insufficient. 
I'm requesting that the review period be extended to 180 days.” if not longer. What i do understand of the regulations is not
acceptable and fair at all for a vapor not wanting to return to smoking after 4 years of not smoking. I was 12 years old when I started smoking and I'm now 43. I have a lung disease with test results showing scaring so fast a lung transplant was going to take place within a years time. I started on the cigarette look alike kits with no good results to quit.  Then moved to buying eliquid to drip in a heating device called an atomizer to help me get completely off the cigarettes with great successes. Within 3 months the scaring on my lungs STOPPED. I have regular cat-scans done every 6 months to 12 months depending on if I have enough money to get the scan done.  Please do not make it to where I cant afford or cant even purchase this life changing  alternative away. Yes i'm hooked on the nicotine but the nicotine is not what was killing my lungs it was what was in the cigarettes that was doing the harm to my lungs and quality of life. I know others have very true life changing stories like mine and it seems FDA does not care to listen or understand success. I really feel FDA is only protecting there own money pocket. I hope your decision on this changes so I can change mine on how I feel about FDA. Look me up im in Portsmouth Ohio 45663. My name is Kimberly R. Galloway and I would be more than happy to send anyone my test results and Dr. visits how vaping has completely saved my life. Eliquid is NOT tobacco and I don't understand how this falls under the tabacco regulations. Well enough said here with my repeated successes that I have given to you at different times in the past 3 years. Back to reading and trying to understand these deeming regulations.
