General Comment:Hello!
I'd like to request an extension to 180 days on the proposed regulation as i takes time to collect enough information and facts to make an intelligent and fair decision.
Also I'd like to share an observation as en employee of a small e cigarette company in Bay area. I've personally witnessed people come to the shop say "e cigarette saved my life. Thank you for helping me quit smoking! My lungs are clear! My family is happy!" I am personally not an e cigarette-user, my husband is and it's been wonderful to see him switch from smoking to using e cigarette, especially with his family history of strokes and heart attacks. We have a 5-year-old and I'm quite comfortable with my husband using a smoke-free device in the house around me and our son as well as in the car. It leaves no tar, bad lingering smell and gives me the sense of comfort that he's not consuming carcinogens from combustible cigarettes, rather food-grade ingredients-rich vapor. So far it's been cheaper for people like my husband to use an e cigarette than to smoke and it's been very comforting to know that it's by far less hazardous than smoking given they are using low/medium nicotine strength 6/12/18/24mg.
thank you for consideration
